Fallon will be on board for this first time...No real strong opposition is lining up, the useful filly Elletelle will be there with maybe some more O'Brien horses.. O'Brien has won 8 of the last 9 Phoenix Stakes!

Cannot see him being beaten, unless the ground was to come up really soft. Which may cause a problem to him. He will not be a betting proposition, that's for sure.

You spoke about River Proud. I was at Newmarket when he was just denied that nice win, and i noticed before the race he had a fresh cut just below his left eye. I'm not saying that stopped him for winning, but he must have felt that during the race.
