Western Sea has had his last seven starts here, scoring over the trip in December, and will be on the same mark with his rider's claim taken into consideration. But he was a long way behind Filon D'Oudaries when the latter just failed to overhaul Difficult Decision last time and seems unlikely to reverse the form. DREAMSRMADEOFTHIS ran easily her best race to date at Tramore in October where she found the minimum trip too short. She's only had eight runs and can go one better though Padraic's Choice could pose a threat from the bottom of the handicap if getting his jumping act together.
