Verdict
A chance is taken with Three Welshmen in a tough opener to the card at Warwick, with Anthony Ebeneezer, Buffalo Bill and Just Superb another trio that have claims on the best of their form. The last mentioned drops in class and trip this afternoon and has a solid chance on the form of his good second to the fairly useful Greenfield at Stratford in April. However, he would not want the ground to soften too much and he faces no easy task from the top of the weights. Richard Johnson is an eye-catching jockey booking for Buffalo Bill, who is far less exposed than many of these. He looked to be running into form at Worcester last time and, with more patient tactics employed, he can get involved in the finish this time. Anthony Ebeneezer is a force to be reckoned with in sellers and holds his form well when he is on song. However, this is tougher than some of his recent engagements and he is opposable this afternoon. Therefore, we turn to Three Welshmen, who has held his own in decent company lately. Still only a three-year-old, the Dai Williams-trained gelding has a good attitude for a horse that has been finding it hard to get his head in front. However, we are prepared to forget about his near misses and give him another chance in this company.
