A Sure Welcome^b⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: L Morris| T: J L Spearing| OR: 70| CD

2/1

Can be slowly away as he was over this C&D last month when unlucky to be hampered in the run. Back on last winning mark and looks set to be involved again.

Form: 2-12353

(7)

Poeta Brasileiro⁷⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: Raul Da Silva| T: S Durack| OR: 69| C

5/1

Made all to win his last two for Jose Santos over 6f at the end of last year. Makes stable debut off just 2lb higher with promise of plenty more to offer and drop in distance shouldn't be a concern.

Form: 6311-

(6)

Vimy Ridge^t¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 9-13| J: Darragh Keenan⁽⁵⁾| T: A Bailey| OR: 69| D

50/1

Has fallen to a good mark but losing run now stretches back to September 2017. Best AW form has come at Chelmsford and needs to improve on latest return to action.

Form: 60752-0

(11)

Qaaraat¹⁶⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: Cam Hardie| T: A Brittain| OR: 68

14/1

Lost his form on the last three starts in September last year and absent since. Probably best watched on return with a wide draw to overcome.

Form: 132875-

(3)

Big Time Maybe^p¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: A Kirby| T: M J Attwater| OR: 66| CD

3/1

Yet to add to his win tally in nine starts since joining this yard but has gone close three times following wind surgery. Former C&D winner remains on a good mark and can go close again.

Form: 388-432

(10)

Krystallite^b¹⁰⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-8| J: Theodore Ladd⁽⁵⁾| T: S Dixon| OR: 64| CD

50/1

All four career wins have come over this C&D and remains 6lb higher than the last of them. Absence isn't a concern as she has a good record fresh but wide draw a negative for a front-runner.

Form: 574928-

(9)

Hello Girl¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: F Norton| T: D K Ivory| OR: 64| CD

25/1

Front-runner faces plenty of opposition for the lead from a wide draw and needs to leave three poor runs behind. One to oppose for a stable quiet at present.

Form: 64/39-06

(8)

Jacob's Pillow^p²⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 9-7| J: Phil Dennis⁽³⁾| T: Rebecca Bastiman| OR: 63| D

66/1

Disappointing efforts in three runs this year and best AW form, including two wins, has come on the fibresand. Others look stronger candidates

Form: 619-764

(1)

Fethiye Boy²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: David Probert| T: R Harris| OR: 62| D

8/1

Front-runner has the perfect draw although faces plenty of competition for the lead. On a decent mark but has weakened late in three starts since rejoining former yard.

Form: 0555-67

(5)

Harperelle¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: A Mullen| T: A C Whillans| OR: 69

40/1

Placed in her first three starts for Karl Burke but well below that level when a close third in selling company. New stable struggling for winners and best watched on handicap debut.

Form: 223-3

(4)

Pink Flamingo^b¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: J Fanning| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 68| D

6/1

Made all for breakthrough success over this distance at Lingfield when getting an easy lead. Open to improvement for in-form yard but will need to find more in a race with plenty of pace.

Form: 50-5321

Forecasts

A Sure Welcome (2/1), Big Time Maybe (3/1), Poeta Brasileiro (5/1), Pink Flamingo (6/1), Fethiye Boy (8/1), Qaaraat (14/1), Hello Girl (25/1), Harperelle (40/1), Krystallite (50/1), Vimy Ridge (50/1), Jacob's Pillow (66/1)

There's no shortage of front-runners in a race that looks set to be fast and furious and that will suit A SURE WELCOME following a luckless run. Pink Flamingo and Poeta Brasileiro like to lead but are open to plenty of progress in the early part of their careers while Big Time Maybe is on a consistent run of form.
