In depth
Verdict
Phantom Flipper now tries his luck over the minimum trip after a string of placed efforts over further. He went close over 6f here last month while Berlios, an import from Ireland, makes his debut for David Barron and could also go well on his first start since September. Bomber Etches has shown little in a couple of starts at the track so far but Spice Mill and Temujins Quest are both worth noting making their racecourse debuts. However, a speculative vote goes to fellow newcomer AEGEAN BOY given Mike Appleby's charge is a half-brother to a winner on the Fibresand.
