    Verdict

    WELFORD looks to be worth sticking with after beating three previous winners to land a conditions race at Chester last week. The hat-trick beckons for Mark Johnston's colt. Auxiliary made a winning start in handicaps at Chester earlier this month and is upped 4lb. He should confirm running with Clive Clifton but Bukle and Indigo looks to have even more on their plates in this company and are harder to fancy.
