Verdict
Though a winner at Catterick and Ayr at the end of last year, Lock's Corner may be back in the handicapper’s grip. The Pink'n only weakened approaching the last when fourth behind FOREVER WILLIAM at Taunton in January and is 9lb better off. However, he’s since finished tailed off at Chepstow whereas Alan King’s charge ran well next time around here and still looks to be on a decent mark. Thirtyfourstitches is hard to catch right and Silent Revolution is conceding weight all round while Hititi has gone up 9lb for his runaway success at Exeter.
