Verdict

Five-times course winner The Lock Master will have to defy a penalty and a new career-high mark if he is to complete his hat-trick and we much prefer THATCHMASTER. He won his maiden over a mile here in January and was successful in a higher grade at Wolverhampton earlier this month. The extra quarter-mile shouldn't be a problem on breeding. First Warning is lightly raced but has his first experience of Fibresand while Returntobrecongill has become disappointing. Anton Chigurh might take to the surface, however, and is fit from a campaign over hurdles.
