In depth
Verdict
The consistent Phoenix Phlyer is likely to be all the rage here at his local track with the main dangers looking to be O So Bossy and Kestick. The selection rarely runs a poor race and looks a solid jumper. He won well last time out, clearing away from his field in a similar race to this at Ludlow and had previously ran well in a variety of Ladies' races between the flags. Kestick is prone to errors but if putting in a clear round has the ability at this level to go close on ground he should relish. O So Bossy won well last time out in a point-to-point and has a reasonable level of form under rules. He should go well but will have to be at the top of his game to be a danger to the selection Phoenix Phlyer.
