King Of The Wolds improved on his debut to score over C&D last time with Yinfortheroad well beaten and Logical Approach running out. He only prevailed by a length, however, whereas the unbeaten BIG WATER has yet to be put to the test. Alan Swinbank's four-year-old is fancied to continue winning ways as he beat the re-opposing Jimmie Brown and Scarlet Fire with the minimum of fuss at Ayr earlier this month. La Calinda and Stagecoach Jasper could make the frame after promising efforts last time.
