He put in a career best performance when getting off the mark at the ninth time of asking winning well over this C&D.
He was by no means disgraced at Bath last time out but he seems to have got a good thing going with this apprentice jockey and he’s the one that stands out in the field.

Without a win in his last 11 runs, he’s been tried at much longer distances of late and that risk has come to no avail.
Ran a good race to finish fourth at Haydock last time out over 1m 2f but faded late on, he’s now been dropped back to a mile so with the emphasis more likely to be on speed and Murphy booked to do the steering, expect a change in fortunes for the Ed Dunlop trained gelding.

Made all when getting off the mark at the second time of asking with a half a length victory over this C&D earlier on this month.
The claim of his jockey cancels out the penalty handed to him for that run and he’s the one to beat once again.

By Adaay, she was very slowly away on debut at Newbury over this distance when beaten by five lengths.
She ran on really well on that occasion and if she manages to break well here, she will take a fair bit of beating in a fairly weak field.
The booking of Buick is a massive sign of intent as well.

Here we are again, Windsor on a Monday night and of course, A Sure Welcome is running!
He’s already won two qualifies for this race with two wins and two top three finishes coming at this course since the end of May.
He’s now up to a career high mark of 92 but in the mood in which he’s been in so far in 2021, he’s well and truly got us onside and we’re sticking with him to do the business once again.

Showed plenty of greenness on debut over this distance at Chelmsford last time out when sent off at nice each way odds.
For top connections, improvement is on the cards and it’ll be interesting to see how much she’s kicked on in this race.

Got off the mark at the third time of asking when winning nicely over this distance at Sandown last month.
She clearly wants good ground and she’ll get that here so she looks more than capable of landing back to back victories.
