PHANTOM FLIGHT failed to meet expectations when tried at this level at Ayr but he's worth another chance with main threat Secret State possibly vulnerable back down in trip around here on return. Tyrrhenian Sea was beaten only by the high-class Lord North in the Winter Derby at Lingfield and is another to consider with race fitness on his side.
