WESTERN MODEL won over hurdles in July before running well when second at Downpatrick last month and is likely better than his third at Sligo suggests 2 weeks ago. He makes plenty of appeal at a course he's gone well at previously. Harbour Highway shaped as if ahead of his mark at Listowel and the drop back in trip rates a plus in a switch of headgear. Aurea Fortuna should be fitter after his recent fourth.
