A big field but PHILBA looks to have every chance of completing a course and distance double. He scored by over three lengths here last time with Signorina Roseina back in third and Mike Appleby's charge can shrug off a penalty and go in again. Sugar Town was beaten only a length at Thirsk last month and Poolstock was placed at Beverley on a couple of occasions in July. Grey Destiny's only success to date came over 6f here in a seller but Tanawar has a shout on his earlier second over today's trip at Ayr.
