Forecasts

The West's Awake (5/2), Black Warrior (4/1), Just Cause (5/1), Burndown (6/1), Voices Of Spring (8/1), Cadeau Du Bresil (8/1), Weather Watch (10/1), Silverfort (16/1), Lean And Keen (25/1), The Sneaky Punter (25/1), Paolozzi (25/1), St Agnes Church (50/1), Jonathan Wild (66/1), Grey Mountain Mist (80/1), Present News (100/1)

THE WEST'S AWAKE can make a winning chase debut in this competitive looking beginners event. The selection finished third on his latest start over hurdles and is taken to get the better of Cadeau Du Bresil who disappointed on his chasing debut at Down Royal in May while third place can go the way of Black Warrior who finished third here earlier this season.
