Verdict

Few handicappers can boast a run to match WHAT A WELCOME and he can continue his incredible run here having only gone up 4lb for his Newbury win last time out. You're Hired is most feared of the rest and he could be ready to return to peak 2016 form now after two good runs this term. Pirate King was disappointing last time out but his Doncaster win was too good to ignore and he could easily bounce back.
  1. What A Welcome
