Roger Varian's three-year-old runners have been in fine form on the all-weather so far this year and PHILADELPHIA should go well on his reappearance. Third at Doncaster on his debut in September, he may have improved enough to get the better of Bint Arcano, placed over track and trip last month. Deben also made the frame at Southwell on his latest start while Bond Trader and Magical Path are newcomers to note for any support in the betting.
