Made all to get back to winning ways with first-time tongue-tie doing its job as he romped home by 6L at Bangor-On-Dee, before much of the same at Market Rasen last week.
Was a 10L at Cartmel from 3lb over in 2015, but has managed to add just one more success to his CV at Uttoxeter (2m5½f, good to soft) from 8lb lower., before third of 11, beaten 2¾L in Cartmel, handicap hurdle.
Was starting to look a bit disappointing but stopped the rot with victory at Uttoxeter in May, before third of eight, beaten 5½L in Aintree handicap hurdle over 2m4f.
Winner at Down Royal (for another yard) in March and didn't fare too badly on first run for new yard at Ayr in April., before finishing in front of Destiny's Gold when second of eight, ½L behind Petrou, last month.
No stranger to Taunton having run there on her last five starts, and is seemingly well suited by 3m on a decent racing surface. Returns from a 170-day break.
Point-to-point winner two years ago but no show in under rules so far including on handicap debut in February, before unseating hapless jockey last day at Doncaster in March.
€12,000 purchase who has been off the track since making most of the running at Worcester last summer, eventually finishing fourth of nine in a Warwick maiden hurdle beaten 30L, before pulled up in Stratford handicap hurdle last month.
Had given notice his turn wasn't far away when second here in early June and duly won at Worcester, before fifth of seven, beaten 28L last day in handicap hurdle at the same track.
Was starting to look frustrating but took advantage of a very low handicap mark when winning with any amount in hand here last month, before winning, again, in Stratford handicap hurdle. The two wins have cost him a rise of 20lb.
Forecasts
Western Miller (13/8), Tyrrell's Succes (9/2), Destiny's Gold (11/2), Restraint of Trade (7/1), Polarbrook (8/1), Maximus Maridius (14/1), Walk Waterford (16/1), Jigsaw Financial (20/1), Yur Next (33/1)
WESTERN MILLER, Made all to get back to winning ways, romping home by 6L at Bangor-On-Dee, before much of the same at Market Rasen last week, will no doubt attempt the same feat here. Yur Next, may need the run, but can go well if ready, while Tyrrell's Succes and Destiny's Gold can be best of the rest.
