Westerton
Built on the promise of his seasonal return when a close second at Warwick (2m, good) last month, despite making a mistake at the last; a 5lb rise asks a little more, though Lewis Stones's 3lb claim helps offset that, and he still looks favourably treated on his best Flat form; with further progress likely, he's high on the shortlist.

From the connections
“We were looking at the 1m1f handicap on this card for Westerton but we thought we'd be brave and go for this race where the prize-money is excellent. I left it to Ryan Moore and it worked out great. That's my 2,000th winner and it's great to do it for wonderful owners who have flown down from Aberdeen this morning. They're a delight to train for - Alan King, trainer.”
