Verdict

LOCKED N’ LOADED was sent off favourite over track and trip last time and duly obliged. He looked good value for more than the official winning-margin and can defy a 5lb rise. Phuket Power was well beaten in a handicap before winning a maiden race over 7f at Kempton and novice winner Cranberry is preferred handicapping for the first time. Breguet Boymakes more appeal than What An Angel though still has something to prove off his current mark judged on recent efforts.
