Verdict

WESTERN STARS has been better than his results suggest since his Windsor win in October and might be able to get his head back in front now dropping back into a Class 5. The thriving Artisan Dancer rates an obvious threat, while Tamaris should benefit from the return to 2m. C&D specialist Smith is also starting to look well treated again so this is quite competitive despite the smallish field.
