Stamina looks a pre-requisite to success and Drive On Locky has little to fear on that score and this Brendan Powell trained dual Plumpton scorer might be a shade fitter than when lining up at Southwell last month and shouldn't be readily dismissed. However, LITTLE WINDMILL is worth chancing as he seeks to take advantage of a lower hurdles mark (still a maiden) than over fences (three time winner). He is another horse who has proven stamina and appears to relish a decent racing surface which should be on the cards.
