REETAJ gets another chance despite returning a losing favourite over track and trip last month. Peter Chapple-Hyam's colt was beaten less than a length but finished a street clear of the the rest and should go close. Ian's Memory and Street Force share the same handicap rating and both make their Fibresand debuts along with Poyle Toby, a modest fifth at Kempton on his introduction. Rokbaan has shown little so far but Roger Varian's runners have a fine strike rate at this venue.
