Verdict
MR WOLF came right back to form when second to Port Ronan over C&D last time off this mark. John Quinn's veteran loves it here and has every chance of reversing that form with the penalised winner. He should also confirm running with sixth King Of Swords, though Nigel Tinkler's seven-year-old beat him in this last year and is 4lb better off today. Comptonspirit and Desert Strike are usually thereabouts but Commanche Raider has been well below par this year and Igoyougo will probably need this after a lay-off. The others look to have something to find.
