The veteran Mr Wolf is better known for his exploits at Pontefract but won this a year ago from a 3lb higher mark so must be respected. North Central is very consistent and won here in June but he's now 8lb higher and may struggle to reverse earlier Ayr form with Royal Blade, another consistent performer in this grade. LADY KILDARE has more scope than most of these and gained her second success of the season with a game effort over the minimum trip at Newcastle. Her earlier victory was over this trip and a 4lb rise looks manageable. Last Sovereign bounced back to beat Cornus at Pontefract and a penalty shouldn't prevent a big run, while Regency Art is one to note on his first start for Dandy Nicholls and his first since landing a Warwick maiden for David Elsworth back in October 2009.
