A few of these arrive here in good form in similar AW sprints, including A SURE WELCOME. This three-year-old gelding won over C&D two starts ago and went very close to making it two in a row when beaten less than a length last time out. He's up a further 2lb but is still improving and seems to get on well with Liam Keniry, who retains the ride. Last time out course winner Hamish Mcgonagain and top-weight Major Crispies are others who should give good accounts of themselves.
