WELDER is the one to beat in the feature race. He notched-up a hat-trick of victories in stakes races at Remington last autumn and the return from a lay-off is not a worry given Theresa Luneack’s charge won on the back of a three-month absence last year. Rockport Kat will be sharper for a recent comeback and has won in stakes company before and the same comments also apply to Fly To The Bank. Shannon C is upped in class but is in good form and makes most appeal of the remainder.
