Verdict

Most of these are exposed but are hard to split on these terms. However, Welcome Stranger is still only lightly raced and, as such, could prove to be a step ahead of his rivals today. Start Over and Voice Mail have definite each way claims and are respected - whilst market confidence behind Anna Walhaan for a place should also be noted. But Welcome Stranger is in good heart at present and should be up to the task today. He held his own in much better company at Newmarket when he was last seen out and will be hard to master if in the same mood here. Tropical Coral also has claims on these terms and is 3lb better off with the selection than if this were a handicap. She too could give them all plenty to think about if the ground remains firm but she may find Welcome Stranger too hot to handle today.
