Formscan - Mythical Phoenix deserves a change of luck having occupied the runner-up spot on each of his four starts for the Julie Camacho team. He's considered nudged up a further 1lb in the ratings, but the unexposed ALFA KELLENIC is a sprinter on the up and she gets the vote. A comfortable winner at Thirsk on her handicap bow in June, she followed up in similar fashion at York a week later, suggesting she is surely capable of defying a hefty 9lb rise. Others to note include Aberama Gold and Batal Zabeel.
