Lockstock has proved a most consistent performer of late and returns to this surface on the same mark as when landing a fair Chepstow handicap late last month. The four-year-old son of Inchinor also had the re-opposing First Maite behind when the pair clashed at Leicester previously and should confirm the placings on 4lb better terms. Lord Melbourne has claims on his best form but has been below par of late but Bulawayo and Better Off are closely matched on C&D form in June and neither can be discounted in an open heat.
