Race preview
WESTLAIN appreciated the drop back to 2m when running out a comfortable winner at Huntingdon earlier in the month. Despite the handicapper raising him 9lb, there appears to be more to come and the four-year-old may prove too strong for Diamonds Galore, who has finished second on both outings this season. Handicap debutant Sense Of Reason appeals most of the remainder.
