Tajseer has been placed in half of his 12 career starts but is not exactly progressive. Stablemate WESTINMARE carries a penalty courtesy of her bumper win at Downpatrick in July but she's not been disgraced in a couple of starts since and has the pedigree to handle the switch to hurdles. Aretesone looks a danger, however, as he's been knocking on the door in similar company this summer and Double Windsor was only beaten a nose over a longer trip last month at Tramore. Golden Silence also has a squeak on his third at Down Royal in May.
