LOCUM's two wins to date have both come at this track and he's now 4lb lower than the latest in April last year. Charles Eddery takes another 7lb off his back today and he looks to have plenty in his favour after showing signs of a resurgence when second here last time. Golden Waters also produced a better effort when third at Sandown recently and can figure along with Art Scholar, who had Carlcol Girl well behind when third over C&D last week. Spiritual Art won over hurdles in April and has place claims after showing signs of improvement on the Flat at Lingfield last time.
