      Verdict

      A Sure Welcome has an impressive strike rate on the all-weather tracks and won at Wolverhampton on his penultimate start. But he’s yet to score on Turf so KING CRIMSON is preferred. John Butler’s sprinter has gone close in both subsequent starts since winning at Bath last month and looks the one to beat in his current form. Aguerooo is another who does all his winning on the all-weather and Prominna has plenty to find with the selection but Hollander won off a higher mark at Windsor last year and returns to Turf for the first time since.
