TIGERWOLF had plummeted down the weights before scoring easily at Kempton last week and may well defy a penalty in this. Baltic Prince also won at Kempton earlier this year and can race off a lower mark back on this surface but there was cut in the ground when Ocean Temptress recorded last year’s four wins and she hasn’t raced since November. Whitecrest is a course and distance winner back on a winning mark and makes most appeal of the remaining trio.
