It's hard to resist the unexposed WESTERN COWBOY, who made it third time lucky in maiden hurdles when scoring over 2m at Limerick last time and he should have more to offer moving back up in trip for this handicap debut. Thousand Tears shaped with encouragement back from a 10-month break at Cork recently and he is feared most. Whatucallher is also shortlisted.
