Mount Welcome popped up at a big price at Worcester last week but has a penalty to overcome against tougher opposition. ACCESSALLAREAS also carries a penalty for his recent win at Taunton but scored with plenty in hand and gets the nod to follow up. Cocoa Key posted a better effort at Wetherby on only his third start over fences and should be thereabouts while The Grey One found only one too good at Fontwell back in September and can make the frame again with a similar effort.
