Verdict
The Lock Master was well ahead of Falcon's Fire when third to Storm King here last time. But the latter has subsequently finished behind runner-up BUSY STREET over track and trip. That collateral form gives Alan Swinbank’s charge every chance and he also has the beating of Alshan Fajer. Tatting notched up a double in plating company here at the turn of the year and that’s stronger form than the claimer won by Muqarred here a week ago when the latter scored easily over a mile.
