WESTERN RULES was once a promising novice hurdler and he returned from a long absence with a credible run at Wetherby recently over this sort of trip on testing ground. He's had enough time to get over that run and, on his previous form, should be capable of winning races of this current rating and indeed higher. Tawseef has been in super form for connections since late summer and is the form pick while Catchamat is not to be underestimated on her handicap debut and could run a big race. Monbeg Theatre and Bryden Boy are capable of getting involved but do come with risks.
