Verdict
IAN'S MEMORY (NAP) did well to score over track and trip last time as that was his first start since August. Jeremy Noseda's charge can confirm running with Dubai Hills in this and go in again. Philba's winning run came to end here last month and Westwood Hoe has gone off the boil since landing a Class 2 contest here in December. Big Time and Zaeem have been running in lower grade handicaps of late but Bertiewhittle is at home at this level and makes a belated return to the Fibresand. Robert The Painter makes his debut at the track and is hard to win with.
