THE WOLF was a 100/1 chance when last seen in the Albert Bartlett at Cheltenham in March but was far from disgraced and is rated 11lb superior to sole rival Thegallantway, who only receives 6lb. However, the latter did show he was a stayer when second at Ascot in March so should make a race of it.
The Wolf (FR) 100-1 (11-5) Towards rear on outside, outpaced when blundered 2 out, never a threat, 7th of 19, 18 1/2l behind Monkfish (11-5) at Cheltenham 3m (1) sft in Mar.
Thegallantway (IRE) 33-1 (11-2) Mid-division, pushed along after 5 out, weakened from 4 out, soon tailed off, 17th of 18, dist behind Mcfabulous (11-9) at Kempton 2m 5f hcp (1) gs in Mar.
