Hollander only went up 1lb for winning a handicap in this grade at Windsor in August and didn't take to Fibresand on last month's reappearance. A Sure Welcome has won half of his dozen starts on the all-weather but has only been placed once in eight runs on Turf. Roundabout Magic has won five times on the all-weather, all of them here, and gained his first success on Turf at Brighton last time. He looks certain to go well but he only beat AWESOME ALLAN a neck here in February and the latter, who is very consistent, is 3lb better off so should just about have the edge. Bellevarde is another consistent performer whose chances can't be dismissed in what looks a tight handicap.
