WEST DRIVE was trapped wide at Musselburgh after a good run in a handicap at York. He was second on soft ground at Nottingham last year so easier conditions will hold no fears and he may offer more value than likely favourite Rasmiya. William Haggas' filly makes her debut on Turf, though was very green when staying on late behind Pursuitofthestars on her opening run at Chelmsford and will know more today. Winning bumper London Prize and hurdler Alberta look the pick of the remainder.
