1/1
Has benefited from going up in trip, making it back-to-back wins when scoring at Newcastle in November. Ran at least as well when second of 9 in handicap (11/10) at this C&D a week ago, so he looks set to give another good account.

Forecasts

Aqwaam (1/1), Sea Me Dance (9/2), Western Stars (9/2), De Vega's Warrior (11/1), Pons Aelius (11/1), Haaland (16/1), Animato (28/1), Smart Champion (33/1), East End Girl (40/1), Award Dancer (50/1), Red Force One (125/1)

Verdict

WESTERN STARS had been in better heart than his recent form figures suggested and he returned to winning ways in an apprentices event at Lingfield on Wednesday. He gets to race unpenalised here and can follow up with cheekpieces reapplied, though Aqwaam isn't taken lightly in his current form. Sea Me Dance completes the shortlist.

  1. Western Stars9/2
  2. Aqwaam1/1
  3. Sea Me Dance9/2
