In depth

Verdict

Always Welcome has been a short-priced beaten favourite on the three occasions he's run and will be well supported again but might be worth taking on with PICTOGRAPH. The Godolphin colt finished last on his debut at Newmarket but showed the benefit with a much better effort over this track and trip in October and, with further progress likely, is taken to upset the likely market leader. Broughtons Fancy has had plenty of opportunities but the newcomers War Glory, by Canford Cliffs out of a 6f winner, and Big Amigo, who cost 65,000 euros, are worth noting in the market.
