YOUNG WOLF has been hard to place but he was always holding runner-up Lough Salt when back to winning ways over course and distance two runs ago and can confirm the form despite worse terms. A subsequent run at Fontwell came over a trip too short. Another Mystery won twice over hurdles at the start of the summer but has changed stables since with Southwell second Tedwin Hills likely to pose a bigger threat. A winner over an extended 2m5f here two runs ago, Can't Beat History was hampered when unseating his rider at Uttoxeter so can’t be ignored.
