In depth
Verdict
Lockstock is the recommendation ahead of Haroldini, Bowl Of Cherries and Doctor Dennis. Lockstock makes a welcome drop in grade this afternoon having campaigned in handicaps and there was a lot to like about her latest run at Wolverhampton. This seven furlongs looks to be ideal for her given that recent effort. Bowl Of Cherries is in good heart and would be interesting if taking up this engagement. Doctor Dennis hasn't shown much since returning from absence although this would not be the toughest of assignments. Haroldini is running well at present and did not run badly last time out given that she was carrying a penalty. Lucis Verrus is from the very much in-form Derek Shaw stable and should not be discounted despite a couple of moderate efforts. Dispol Peto drops in class although seven furlongs looks plenty sharp enough on the book. Lockstock looks a class above these rivals and is afforded the selection.
