Verdict

WESTERN STARS had been in better heart than his recent form figures suggested and he returned to winning ways in an apprentices event at Lingfield on Wednesday. He gets to race unpenalised here and can follow up with cheekpieces reapplied, though Aqwaam isn't taken lightly in his current form. Sea Me Dance completes the shortlist.
