THE LOCK MASTER can race off the same mark as when scoring over track and trip in February. This is easier than his recent tasks on Turf and Mike Appleby's charge gets the nod. No Dominion landed a double here in October but is up another 7lb for his recent victory at Thirsk. Our Ivor beat the disappointing favourite Eutropius over course and distance on Monday and is closely matched with Caledonia Prince on earlier running at this track. Alpha Tauri won a seller over 7f here in March but Halling Dancer is preferred over today's trip.
