Verdict

WESTERN BEAT was well served by the demands of a well-run race returned to 1¼m when comfortably landing an amateur riders' handicap at Newcastle in January and she looks a big player again from a 5 lb higher mark. Fellow last-time-out winner, Jenson Benson goes particularly well here and is feared, with Toophan another worth a second look.
