Running Wolf wasn’t winning out of turn at Market Rasen last month but that was a muddling race and he has a 7lb rise to contend with. Day Of Roses was odds-on for a three-runner race at Fontwell last night so MORE THAN LUCK could be left to build on an improved second behind a decent yardstick at Ffos Las as Desert Sting was very disappointing when a hot favourite at Bangor last time having won well earlier at Stratford. Edward Elgar could be improving but has never won outside of selling company.
