In depth
Verdict
All of these have a handicap mark but Kirkby's Phantom has shown nothing so far and IRISH SKY just edges things at the weights. She was having her first start since April when failing to figure at Lingfield last month but should be sharper for that sporting first-time headgear. The remainder are more exposed with Excellent World preferred to Dream Revival and Oh So Dandy having gone close at Southwell last time.
