WESTERN APPROACHES knuckled down well to score on her Bangor bumper debut though can be considered somewhat disappointing when failing to follow up at Southwell, staying on at one pace for the minor placing. Her stable has an unsurpassed record in these contests, however, and she's hard to get away from here. Forever My Friend has been a beaten favourite the last twice but has performed well enough to rate an obvious threat to the selection, especially with his yard still in form. Consigliori was beaten nearly 50 lengths on his Hexham debut but travelled well for a long way and had the remainder well beaten off. He should come on plenty for the run.
