FormscanBy Gary Carson - Andy Oliver is having a good run in maidens here and THE PHANTOM PUNCH looks capable of giving him another winner. He was third when the Tyrone handler saddled a one-two-three at the course last month and the form of that race has worked out well. The second, Financial Conduct, has scored since and the winner Play It Cool has run really well to chase home Clear The Skies in a competitive handicap. His rivals look a bit more exposed. Nivvo ran well when third to Bid Adieu here at the start of last month and off a mark of 72 probably sets the standard. Wooster, rated 70, has plenty of solid placed form and was third behind another Oliver horse in Pivotal Connection here last week. He is also entitled to be thereabouts.
For three yrs old and upwards, maidens at startingWeights - 3-y-o 9st 5lb; 4-y-o and up 9st 7lb; Fillies allowed 5lb;
