Verdict

LE FABULEUX BUCK'S has shown progressive form in maidens so a big run looks on the cards with the step up in trip likely to suit now handicapping with Sean Bowen taking over from a conditional. Locked Down Lad is in better form than his recent figures suggest and has eased to a workable mark, with Inion Tiogair another to consider back down in class.
