WESTERN SEA gained reward for his recent consistency when ending a long losing run over fences 5 weeks ago here, rallying well to regain the lead close home. Operating from a lower hurdles mark, he could well follow up. The Greek and Whatsnotoknow head up the dangers, whilst Gaius needs monitoring back over hurdles.

  1. WESTERN SEA (IRE)
  2. THE GREEK (IRE)
  3. WHATSNOTOKNOW (IRE)
