Westaway has failed to build on an Ascot second back in December, the form of which is also not looking overly strong now. He's been easily beaten the last twice and looks best watched for the time being. Shuh Shuh Gah is a more reliable sort and has posted solid efforts in ordinary maiden hurdles, not beaten at all far on his comeback run last time. He seems sure to run his race, although he's closely matched with JOJABEAN on recent Southwell running. There should be little between the pair but the King charge may improve sufficiently to reverse placing's. Ya Hafed is more exposed than the aforementioned trio but still harbours decent place claims.
