Verdict
Master Charm looks a leading player here, but we take a chance that WESTSTERN can underline an improved performance last time over hurdles by scoring on his chasing bow, with Another Dark Rum worth noting. The last named ran a solid race on his latest outing, and although still a maiden, in a trappy affair can go well. Master Charm opened his account over fences last time, but it was only a small race and nothing to get carried away about. His earlier efforts looked only ordinary and at the likely short odds he is taken on. Weststern ran well over hurdles on his latest start, and the form of that race has worked out. He is given a belated try over fences and races off a 1lb lower mark. He is an unknown quantity in this sphere but the ground and the trip will suit, and Weststern can spring a surprise.
