Hard to rule anything in or out of this contest with total confidence but Nicola Currie appeared to get a good tune out of tricky customer WESTERN WAY when the pair finished a keeping-on second over a patently inadequate 7f here last time out. Having won a 3m hurdle, this 1m4f trip should be much more suitable and a mark of just 62 is there to be exploited. Falcon's Fire, Bollinhope and Bigbadboy are also of interest, as would be Wind Turbine if the subject of market support.
