It’s difficult to catch The Lock Master right but he returned to winning ways over 1m4f here last time. The veteran will figure again if in the same mood and Go George Go also has a shout if handling the surface. The latter notched up a four-timer at Newcastle over the winter but was beaten off today’s mark last month. STORM KING has turned in modest efforts elsewhere either side of going close over track and trip last month. But apprentice Finley Marsh rode a winner for this yard here in January and his 7lb allowance could give David Griffiths’ charge the edge returning to the Fibresand for this.
