Verdict
The Lock Master was engaged to run at Wolverhampton yesterday but is in fine form and would every chance if taking part. In his absence, this is probably a match between TRANS SONIC and Follow The Flag. Not much separates them on their running behind Everymanforhimself over C&D last month, but the latter has a tendency to fall behind in his races and David O'Meara's front runner could steal this. Hawaass registered some useful form when with Mark Johnston but hasn't raced since 2009 and makes his debut for new connections here, while Bawaardi's best form is on Polytrack.
