Verdict

Land Hawk and Warden Bond have been in winning form at Wolverhampton recently. The former was winning his first race in 25 starts last month and the latter looks high enough in the weights now having landed a double at the Midlands track earlier this year. WIND STAR missed the whole of 2011 and showed his best form for some time when third at Wolverhampton last time. He's won off much higher marks in the past and an apprentice's 5lb claim makes his job that much easier today. Big Bay posted a better effort last time and could prove best of the rest.
