Hurdles winner Mollasses has yet to score on the Flat but has placed off similar marks while The Lock Master won at Doncaster last year but over 1m4f and on fast ground. Anton Chigurh won a seller on the all-weather last month and Scent Of Power was runner-up in a plating race over track and trip in October. VISERION was beaten only a length over today's trip at Chelmsford on his penultimate start and with an apprentice's 5lb allowance helping his cause back on this surface, David Simcock's lightly-raced charge may come good.
