Forecasts

Westernesse (6/5), Shine On Brendan (9/4), Hiromichi (9/4), Bashful (9/2), Havana Party (13/2), Retirement Beckons (33/1)

WESTERNESSE made his effort slightly earlier than ideal starting out for new connections when runner-up at Wetherby last week and David O'Meara's 4-y-o can open his account having just a second outing in handicap company. The main danger could emerge from Hiromichi, who regained the winning thread at Bath on Monday and should be bang there again under a penalty. Bashful can fill out third spot.
