Aguerooo bids for a hat-trick having landed a double at Lingfield last month and beating Real Estate on one of those occasions. The latter re-opposes on better terms today but A SURE WELCOME is preferred. John Spearing’s charge has placed over the minimum trip here in both subsequent starts since scoring over course and distance and gets another chance back over 6f today. Monumental Man is usually thereabouts in this grade though remains 7lb higher than when last successful while Mutabaahy and Vimy Ridge were both placed when last in action though that was last year.
