WESTERNESSE was a very respectable third on his first run over this trip at York last summer and, if ready to roll following a nine-month absence, he could be the answer. The in-form Asgard's Captain is a much-respected main danger, while Umberto has the form to play a leading role and both Cusack and Can't Stop Now make each-way appeal.
