WESTERN WAY represnts a very shrewd yard and appeared to have something in hand when scoring at Chelmsford last time. He might prove hard to beat in this finale. In the first-time visor Ruler Of The Nile might give the selection a race, and another worth a look is Heron, whose yard is in good form at the moment. Hewouldwouldnthe and Guards Chapel are others with place prospects, if in the mood.
