Verdict

Always Welcome finally got off the mark at Wolverhampton in December and should make a three-year-old. Jordan Sport won on soft ground at Redcar last month. Nouvelli Dancer has been in fine form on the all-weather while there are possibilities about Salisbury third Justice Lass and consistent pair Fighting Temeraire and Wimpole Hall. RIO'S CLIFFS beat Jordan Sport at Beverley in September and was then a fair fourth over further at Newmarket. He may well be up to landing this on his return.
