WESTERN MODEL shaped well when second over fences at Downpatrick recently and is taken to build on that promise and prove too strong for course specialist Cornmarket and last month's Tramore runner-up Pourquoi Poi. The fact Ballagh Star has won the last 2 runnings of this race means it would be no surprise were he to leave a string of poor efforts behind.
