All The Winds scored over C&D last month but a couple of these are weighted to reverse the form, namely Art Scholar and Ellemujie. Big Creek was returning from a lay-off when fifth last time with Jordaura behind. He can figure with that run under his belt, but the The Lock Master has a bit to prove in this company. REFRACTOR is the least exposed of these and, having won his maiden over track and trip last month, James Fanshawe's charge is taken to improve again and follow up on his handicap bow.
