Regicide failed to land the odds at Kempton in October though should be winning one of these events before long off a mark of 83. But GOLDEN WOLF is preferred today having finished second at Wolverhampton on last month’s return to action. Kasperenko was placed at Windsor last time and Wordsearch found one too good at Kempton before disappointing at the same track. Zamalight has the more recent form with an outing on the all-weather under his belt and the newcomer Geordielad is a half-brother to three winners.
