Formscan - Phoenix Moon seems happiest on an artificial surface and stuck her neck out to make a successful start to the campaign at Lingfield. If she can translate that form to turf, she will be the one to beat but ORBITAL CHIME is worth another chance. James Owen's six-year-old wasn't able to show his true colours at Southwell, but went close at Thirsk before that and will relish the return to 6f. Winchurch is most effective at 5f and may be found wanting in the closing stages.
