Verdict

WEST COAST LASS has improved for the application of headgear since returning to action and was beaten only a neck at Musselburgh at the end of last month. She's preferred to Leostar, a runner-up in a maiden hurdle at Ayr back in May and having his first outing since. Romeo Brown showed a big improvement at Taunton when second in a bumper and makes his hurdling bow while Alone No More debuts under Rules having won a point-to-point back in the May of last year.
