Karl Marx arrived in much better form when winning this last year off a 10lb higher mark but Drive On Locky looks to have no more to do than when hosing up over a longer trip at Plumpton on Sunday, despite a 7lb penalty, and is certain to attract market support. The grey HIGHBURY HIGH has looked much happier back over hurdles lately and may be ready to get his head back in front. Shaddaii started favourite for a race at Fontwell last month in which Drive On Locky was pulled up but he unseated his rider – on collateral form, he's closely matched with the selection so rates a danger.
