This looks a good opportunity on paper for WESTERNINTHEPARK to follow up that Plumpton win. He was heavily backed last month and moved through the race strongly before staying on best. He can still jump slicker and with Harry Cobden booked everything looks in place for another big run. Patriotik is interesting making his debut under Rules but Evan Williams is struggling for winners currently.

The way PRIMOZ won on debut over hurdles at Ayr back in November was really promising. He made all and jumped well before going away at the finish. He failed to back that up behind Kamsinas at Haydock but that was a big step up being a Grade 2. Back into calmer waters I expect him to quickly get back on track. Tedtwo bumped into Asta La Pasta at Wetherby and is the likely danger.
