Verdict
Star Welcome looked on the way back last time and can land this modest event from Zinging and Whenwillitwin. Willie Musson's five-year-old finished second to Little Richard over a longer trip at Wolverhampton last month, but does have strong form over course and distance as well. Her second to Lawaaheb here last March stands out and if back to that sort of form she will be hard to beat. Whenwillitwin did at the seventh attempt over course and distance last time and doesn't look badly treated for his handicap debut. Zinging displayed much improved form behind Linning Wine last week and should be involved in the finish this afternoon. In a wide open affair Fortune Point must also be considered for each-way purposes, but on this occasion we will plump for Star Welcome.
