Verdict

Having gotten the job done in good style when stepping up to this trip for the first time at Sandown last time, WEST DRIVE is taken to get his head in front again. He really seemed to relish the trip on that occasion and with a 3lb rise looking on the lenient side, he can make it back-to-back wins on ground that should suit him perfectly. Chancery tries a trip this far for the first time in over four years but could be worth chancing now as an older horse, while Highland Castle would go very close if able to show something like his best form.
  1. West Drive
