Verdict

There was a lot to like about the way Three Welshmen stuck to the task when he scored at Warwick three days ago and he has to be given a solid chance of following up in this similar company. Knickyknackienoo and Larad have posted decent enough efforts for them to be considered as viable alternatives at this level - while Head Boy is becoming a frustrating horse to follow and is not hard to overlook again this afternoon. Therefore, it may be best to concentrate on recent form and, as nothing stands up to scrutiny better than Three Welshmen's latest start, he is given the vote to make the most of a fair opportunity even though this is a very quick reappearance for him.
