MISTER PHILSON boasts strong claims for a yard that excels with its raiders to the UK with the proviso that he's over what looked a hard race just eight days ago when fourth in a gruelling 3m7f Perth chase behind Bertie Milan. Connections are presumably happy with him and his ability to stay the trip on this ground is a big plus. A course and distance winner too, he's been kindly dropped 3lb by the assessor and must go close. Dingo Bay is appealingly weighted but all three career success have come at Newcastle, whilst Arc Warrior will enjoy conditions and is a player if putting a February disappointment behind him. Danners was only inched out at Fontwell latest and has place claims but Ultra Du Chatelet could prove the main opposition if getting the trip over which he's unproven. His latest effort when hunting up Indian Voyage at Wetherby was a good effort, suggesting he's very much knocking on the door.
