Lockdown has run up against stiff opposition and should go well, though faster ground may be more to his liking. Duomo Di Milano created a strong impression when landing a bumper here in January by seven lengths and is bred to be a jumper. He could be anything but the experienced DUN MASC may just have his measure here as he has rarely been beaten far in similar company and has performed well over the C&D. Noble Steel was well behind Duomo Di Milano here and has been beaten since while American Touch has been absent for over a year since his victory in a point at Dromahane.
