In depth

Verdict

Jack Blane won at Wolverhampton last month but found A SURE WELCOME too good at the same track last time. The latter bids for a fourth consecutive victory having also won over track and trip earlier and is worth sticking with raised only 4lb. Coverham was beaten less than a length when third at Chelmsford last time but a couple of handicap debutants may prove bigger dangers. Huddersfilly Town didn’t take to the Fibresand last time but should do better back on this surface and Robin's Purse returns to action for Charlie Hills having gone close in a maiden at Lingfield last year.
