WESTERNER POINT is intriguing here given he races off such a lenient mark relative to his recent form over fences. It is never a guarantee that will translate across but his chance is a clear one if it does. Hollow Tree has been off the course for a long time but his trainer has booked the champion jockey to steer on this return. Inch Rise may have lacked for fitness/stamina over three-miles last time out and can have a say now dropped in trip while Tinos Tank is also of interest going in the opposite direction trip-wise after his Limerick second last month, a comment that also applies to Eight Till Late.
