In depth
Verdict
No obvious standout and no recent winning form on offer either. Phoebus Lescribaa heads the weights and may well head the market as he's more consistent than his rivals and ran well on his first start since late October when just outpointed at Southwell this month. A repeat of that level would probably suffice but FLIGHT TO NOWHERE could be the one to spoil the party if forgiven her latest start when reportedly losing her action. Her previous runs were pretty solid and put her right in the mix with Kevin Brogan a good booking. Missesgeejay was better last time and Glorious Dane is worth a market check.
