JOHN LOCKE has produced some solid efforts in maidens/novice events and appeals as the type who will take well to handicaps. He showed good pace when off the mark at Goodwood last time so the drop in trip is unlikely to be an issue. Cassy O's form took off last month and he must be respected going for the hat-trick, while Breguet Boy has done well back on turf of late and handles soft ground.
