WESTERN COWBOY has twice shaped with promise in maiden hurdles in recent months, again filling the runner-up spot at Downpatrick 3 weeks ago. He's open to further improvement moving forward and can make it third time lucky. Fairly useful bumper winner Mars Harper and Hesamanofhisword are others fancied to figure.
