If PAISLEY PARK can reproduce his effort that saw him bolt up in the Cleeve Hurdle over course and distance last time out, it's hard to see any of these rivals improving enough to get the better of him. West Approach has finished behind the selection on his last two starts and he is expected to win the battle for minor honours. There's every chance Wholestone will bounce back after a disappointment last time but Supasundae is preferred for the places this time around with the step up in trip likely to see him to better effect.
