Verdict

WESTERN SEA gained reward for his recent consistency when ending a long losing run over fences 5 weeks ago here, rallying well to regain the lead close home. Operating from a lower hurdles mark, he could well follow up. The Greek and Whatsnotoknow head up the dangers, whilst Gaius needs monitoring back over hurdles.
