The Lock Master is creeping up the weights but was only beaten half-a-length at Haydock after winning at Doncaster and makes more appeal than Carlisle runner-up Stanarley Pic and Card High. Slunovrat stays further but will enjoy the ground and will be staying on when others have cried enough. Testa Rossa won on soft going at Ayr two runs ago while Different Scenario only found one too good when favourite at Beverley earlier this month, though that was only a seller. BAYAN KASIRGA (NAP) hasn't been disgraced in a light campaign but has tumbled down the weights. She's now a pound lower than when scoring on easy ground at Chester a year ago and Sammy Jo Bell claims 3lb. Richard Fahey's mare could be a blot on the handicap.
