PHILBA (NAP) has taken really well to this surface finishing runner-up on a couple of occasions and winning his other four starts on the Fibresand including his latest outing. He beat previous winner and today's rival Ian's Memory on that occasion and Mike Appleby's charge may not have finished improving yet. Nuno Tristan makes his debut at the track having won three times over 6f while Westwood Hoe won a tougher race than this over track and trip in December but was behind the selection last time. Moon River steps up in class off a higher mark having won her latest outing here but recent Kempton winner Trojan Rocket has plenty to find with Ian's Memory on earlier running at the track. Greyfriarschorista was engaged in the 3.55 here yesterday.
