Four of these are previous course and distance winners but A Sure Welcome is better on faster ground while fellow veteran Treacherous is hard to catch right and was behind Justcallmepete here last month. Vape still looks high enough in the weights while Aljari has done all of his winning on the all-weather. COCO BEAR (NAP) has already won three times on soft ground this year so any further rain would be in his favour. He’s had a short break but that shouldn’t be a problem as he won here on his reappearance. Dark Trooper’s two wins in January came over 7f on the all-weather.
