A decent looking bumper to end the card and we will give the vote to Hugo Wolf, with Rudivale and Ballygalley Bob put forward as the main dangers. Alan King does well with his horses in this sphere and Hugo Wolf is certainly bred to go a bit. He is by Mtoto out of a Mossberry Fair mare and related to point to point winners. If the market isn't too negative he looks the one to be on. Rudivale looks to be the form horse having shown plenty of promise on his Wincanton debut earlier this month. Oliver Sherwood has won plenty of these type of races in the past and Ballygalley Bob, a 38 thousand guineas son of Bob Back should be watched closely in the betting. Rood Report may prove best of the remainder, but on this occasion we will side with his stable companion Hugo Wolf.
