John Locke has found only one too good over 1m2f in both starts so far but returned a losing favourite on the all-weather track here last time. War Cross placed over the same trip at Newmarket and is another to consider but JOSEPHINE found only a subsequent handicap winner too good over 1m4f at Headquarters so Bill Stone’s filly may prove the one to side with. Ocean Wind has won a Listed bumper and placed on Polytrack without threatening on his debut under this code while Captain Haddock looks another likely improver.
