Verdict
It could pay to stick with WOLF SHIELD in this. He's progressing well over fences with wins at Hexham and Southwell last time and bids for a hat-trick off a 7lb higher mark. Fentara is a course and distance winner but was let down by her jumping and pulled up at Perth back in June. Mcmurrough ran well for a long way on his comeback at Aintree and could go well and Mister Marker is only 1lb higher than when scoring over track and trip in February.
