WESTLIN' WINDS beat a previous winner nine lengths at Southwell last time. It was only a claimer but still better form than today's competition have recorded of late and he's taken to follow-up off the same mark back in handicap company. Gospel Preacher wasn't disgraced on his handicap bow when sixth at Newbury and there should be more to come from him, while Bathwick Brave has claims on his third at Taunton before disappointing on his latest start. Henok showed a bit more last time when fifth at Warwick in January and may figure ahead of Cantabilly.
