Formscan - WELBURY was never too far away from the pace when scoring at Pontefract and a similar scenario could unfold here for the low-mileage three-year-old. A 5lb rise will ask sterner questions of him, though, not least because Paladin is already proven at this level and arrives following a really creditable second at Ascot. Capital Guarantee is more than capable of backing up his recent Thirsk triumph, and the admirably consistent Barley shouldn't be far away either.
