    Verdict

    Wolf River comes here in great heart and is taken to land the hat-trick, Kyle and Forest Dane my be the main dangers. David Simcock's charge was good value for the head victory here last time out. He made all the running that day and today's jockey Kirsty Millczarek is turning into a very good judge of pace and she can steer this one to another success. Kyle has been well beaten on his last two runs but has solid form back in the summer and would be a major threat if running to form. the same applies to Forest Dane who's exploits include an excellent second behind the smart Pearly Wey at Folkestone. Texas Gold is one that is steadily dropping down the weights and will pop up sooner or later, but we prefer the chances of Wolf River and he gets the vote
