C&D winner. Twenty one runs since last win in 2017. Eighth of 11 in handicap at Catterick (6f, heavy, 28/1) 17 days ago. A long way out of the handicap and looks an impossible task.

Forecasts

Araifjan (3/1), Iconic Knight (7/2), Little Boy Blue (11/2), Ultra Violet (6/1), Newscaster (8/1), A Sure Welcome (8/1), Steelriver (10/1), Bombastic (33/1), Musharrif (33/1), With Caution (50/1), Oriental Relation (125/1)

Verdict

A wide-open sprint handicap but A SURE WELCOME is perfectly drawn to pull off his favoured front-running tactics and he's chanced to gain his first victory since August 2019. Araifjan makes his yard debut having left Richard Fahey and he shouldn't be far away if holding his form. Newscaster is lightly raced and she can continue her progression to play a part in the finish.

  1. A SURE WELCOME
  2. ARAIFJAN
  3. NEWSCASTER (IRE)
