Race Verdict
LOCKED INTHEPOCKET has twice won over the C&D in recent months and, while up 6lb for his most recent success, the eight-year-old is quickly becoming a course specialist and he won't mind the ground coming up on the easy side. What A Steel also arrives in good heart following a winning performance here last month and, having stayed every yard of the extended 3m that day, it would be no surprise to see him bounced out in front in an attempt to make all. Athronan and Inoogoo are others to take seriously.
Selection: Locked Inthepocket
Danger: What A Steel
Alternative: Athronan
