Verdict
Golden Wolf won a Newmarket handicap in June but has been well beaten in two subsequent starts. CROCODILE DUNDEE (NAP) made too many jumping errors over fences in Ireland and reverted to hurdling with a convincing victory at Fontwell. He's up 6lb but holds a fitness advantage over Project Mars though the latter scored on very heavy going at Huntingdon in February and the more rain the better. A Book Of Intrigue won a Fontwell bumper in June last year but never really took to hurdling though he raced in slightly better class. Clearly Capable was beaten in a seller the last time he ran on New Year's Day while Linguine was engaged at Fakenham yesterday.
