The usual provisos about market checks apply but we'll take a chance with FLYING PHENTO to get the better of the runners from the bigger yards. Similar Fashion showed improved form on her second start and may have more to offer this season but it's also well worth considering her unraced stablemate Bai Zhu. Aim For The Stars is related to a winner in this sphere, Gilsland is a well bred individual being a half-brother to Point Barrow and Necromancer is another newcomer to throw into the mix. Lannacombe Clover and Aussie Deal have both shown ability but so too did Flying Phento. She stayed on stoutly over two miles three at Fontwell to belie her starting price and may not need to make too much improvement to make the frame. Her trainer has hit the target with both of his bumper runners at the track and that record could be maintained by Flying Phento.
