ALWAYS WELCOME found only one too good over track and trip on his racecourse debut in what looked a decent maiden. That looks the strongest form on offer, though Trespassed wasn’t beaten that far at Kempton last time and makes more appeal than the likes of Beauty Night and Like No Other. Godolphin run two newcomers with 800,000gns colt Next Stage preferred to Nachi Falls while Sacred Trust is a half-brother to three winners on the all-weather and is another to note.
