WESTERNESSE produced just about his best effort yet when making his third start for David O'Meara a winning one at Pontefract 3 weeks ago and, with that form proving strong, he's fancied to make another bold bid with his rider's claim off-setting his rise in the weights. Thirsk-scorer Menelaus is a player back up in trip equipped with a visor and feared, with Jean Baptiste and Pledge of Honour also worth a look.
