In depth
Verdict
This is only a low-grade handicap but it’s quite competitive nonetheless. Drive On Locky will be among the market leaders having won two of his last three, though he carries a penalty and is not exactly consistent. Sutter's Mill finished with a rare rattle at Ffos Las 10 days ago but Boher Lad seems to run his best races on sharper tracks than this. KELSEY returned from a break to finish a fair third at Ffos Las having travelled strongly into the straight - he could be the one to beat if stripping fitter here. Diego Suarez is preferred to L Frank Baum of the others.
