Mr Wolf can provide a follow-up, with Prince Namid, Folga and Fullandby seen as the main dangers. It has taken time for David Barker to get Mr Wolf in tip top condition, but judged by the manner of his recent success at Catterick, he is back on the boil and should make a bold bid to defy a rise in the handicap for that all-the-way success nine days ago. Prince Namid made up a tremendous amount of ground in the straight at Epsom to get within a neck of Beaver Patrol, and Ann Duffield's charge will have plenty of supporters as a result. He looks set to give the selection most to do. Folga is going the right way based on his performance at Folkestone where he made a lot of the running before succumbing to the late charge of Golden Asha and should again be prominent, while Fullandby will appreciate the step up in trip at least. The one to be on though is Mr Wolf.
