This is home-from-home for Mr Wolf who has won no less than eight times here and has slipped to a reasonable mark. The last time Cornus won was on this track a year ago and he's now 9lb lower so he's another to be respected despite a big weight. Besty hasn't done much for a while but has now joined Dandy Nicholls who will soon be exploiting his falling handicap mark. Gertmegalush will find this much tougher than the seller he won at Nottingham so the vote has to go to the very progressive FARLOW, who scrambled home in a Beverley maiden on his reappearance but showed the benefit with an impressive handicap debut success at Warwick for which he carries a 6lb penalty.
