WESTERN STARS made a much better fist of things back down in grade when producing his best effort of the season so far when third at Newbury 8 days ago, and could just be worth siding with to build on that from what rates a workable mark. The returning Alshadhian on debut for Alan King and bottom-weight Corsican Caper are others to consider. Eyetrap is also worth keeping an eye on back from a break now his stamina is tested further.
