In depth
Verdict
Kempton winner Willkommen is making his debut on Turf on a career-high mark. Going Native, Glendun and Croeso Cymraeg are all clearly better on the all-weather while the going may be too quick for Voi unless there is further rain. All of Kirtling’s victories have come at a lower level and he may need this, though he has a decent strike-rate. CAPLA HUNTRESS is possibly the one with most scope so gets the nod in the hope she can carry improved form on artificial surfaces back to Turf.
