WESTSTREET is well treated on his peak form and looks worth siding with to build on a decent effort for new trainer Gordon Elliott at Down Royal 5 weeks ago. Top-weight Almazhar Garde gave a bold show from the front in the Southern National last time and can figure prominently again. Amateur should be better with his reappearance behind him and could also go well under Robbie Dunne.
