Drive On Locky won over track and trip back in May and is 10lb higher on his return to action. THE GAME IS A FOOT (NAP) is preferred as he was runner-up here earlier this year and is 5lb lower today with a recent outing under his belt. Zoe Davison’s charge gets the nod given Flugzeug has to race off a higher mark reverting to hurdling though Aaly finished closer when placed at Fontwell last time.
