WELSH CHARGER finished 2¾ lengths second to re-opposing Jacks Profit when the pair met in a C&D novice 3 weeks ago but gets a 7 lb swing at the weights on this occasion and could well be up to reversing the placings. His old rival is a clear threat following his subsequent success on the Flat, with Fuji Rocks also worth keeping an eye on.
