Verdict

Mr Wolf returns in search of his ninth track victory but it's a very long time since he showed winning form. Chosen One has dropped to a winnable mark and looked on the way back at Catterick on Wednesday but Arch Walker and Belinsky would have to defy high draws. KYLLACHY DANCER has only run six times and her best performances have been on Polytrack but she looked as though this sort of test would suit when runner-up at Wolverhampton and can gain her first success. Divertimenti runs the occasional good race on fast ground and with Mark Coumbe claiming 5lb he's well enough weighted to get into the frame.
