Up another 6lb and over two months off but there was a lot to like about last two displays

Reliable 1m2f specialist whose win at York three weeks ago represented career-best form

No win since July 2021; clear pick of his 2023 efforts when beaten a neck at York in May

On a roll but has had seven goes at 1m2f (latest last September) and not been at his best
10 (12)	The Citys Phantom Bay J:Danny Sheehy(3) T:Richard Spencer	J:Danny Sheehy(3) T:Richard Spencer	119	p	046-03	83	111	92	76d	—	—	+6	9.2	6.00/1	25 4%
Third at Epsom on Oaks day was creditable; likely to find this race a bit too competitive
