WEST DRIVE represents an in form yard here and having won in first time blinkers last September he can record his second success wearing cheekpieces for the first time today. The selection ran well enough on his seasonal debut at Lingfield last month and can defeat Opposition who drops in trip here while Croquembouche can claim third having finished runner-up here on his penultimate outing.
