YOUNG WOLF missed out on a hat-trick when runner-up at Stratford. He returns to a longer trip today and looks capable of scoring off his current mark. The veteran Doing Fine has won twice this year including his latest start over today’s trip at Uttoxeter and is 5lb higher while Padleyourowncanoe won off a higher mark last year and is another to consider. Mr Mafia found only one too good at Newton Abbot last time but is upped in class for this.
