FormscanBy Michael Graham - WESTPORT COVE could have the measure of King Of Kingsfield in receipt of 4lb from him. Prominent-racer Westport Cove has plenty of experience over fences and made the breakthrough in that discipline off the front at Ballinrobe in May. Since then, he was collared close home over further in a Grade 3 at Galway and should put in another bold bid. King Of Kingsfield is undoubtedly a tough opponent. He has really enjoyed his last two races over fences at Galway and Ballinrobe in the summer and was a decisive winner of both of them. Special Cadeau is next best on official ratings and has a bit to find with Westport Cove as he was fifth behind him in Galway.
