This should prove competitive with a host of course winners on show. Royal Holiday and Sofias Number One have scored over track and trip this year but race off higher marks today and Daddy Warbucks was rated 3lb lower when he won here last season. Mingun Bell and Light Burst make more appeal off their current marks, especially the former, but THE LOCK MASTER can usually be relied on to run up to his best at this venue. The four-time course and distance winner scored here as recently as May and is only 1lb higher today with Toby Atkinson's claim taken into account.
