Mr Wolf was good value for his win at Catterick two starts ago but disappointed off today's mark at York subsequently and may now be best watched with preference for My Gacho, who gets the vote over Dizzy In The Head. Like a lot of the yard's horses, the selection has looked an improved performer this term and David Barron's gelding is taken to defy a 6lb penalty for his recent Thirsk success. James Given's horses have been running into form of late so Folga, who has been a model of consistency of late, has to be respected. Red Romeo ran better over seven furlongs at Musselburgh last time and may now do better back over six furlongs although a bigger threat may come from Dizzy In The Head, who may do better back up in trip from the minimum distance. My Gacho is on top of his form right now though and he gets the vote to win again.
