In depth
Verdict
Rebecca Romero should figure again having finally got off the mark at Lingfield on her latest start with Spic 'n Span back in fourth. The latter has since won twice on the Fibresand but has yet to score in 23 starts on turf and the prolific Polytrack winner Decider is another who has yet to taste victory on this surface. However, WELCOME APPROACH ran out an easy winner over 6f here last week and, despite a penalty, remains on a lower mark than when scoring at Wolverhampton in February. He's taken to confirm recent running with Bateleur and The Tatling and follow up.
