The vote foes to PHOENIX OPEN, who put in a good shift when fifth of 12 in a Dundalk handicap last time and he remains on an attractive enough mark. Carirose is feared greatly on the back of her near miss at Tipperary, while Fox Fearless, a winner at Bellewstown a fortnight ago, and Miss Cunning are other who could have a part to play in the finish.
