Westerly blew the start and was never travelling thereafter when last of seven on his latest start at Ripon. He's better than that and it would be no surprise to see him bounce back here. Moontown has place claims again but Highlife Dancer has been struggling to make an impact in lesser contests while April Ciel finished tailed off at Salisbury after winning at Chepstow. L'Avenue has decent all-weather form but ran a shocker on his Turf debut. CINNILLA was third to Maid In Rio over this trip in Haydock in May. Hopefully a visor will encourage her to race with a bit more enthusiasm here and she could be the value in an open-looking heat.
