Verdict

WOLFSPEAR confirmed previous promise and relished the step up in trip when making his second start in handicaps a winning one over C&D last month, finding extra when tackled. He gets the nod to come out on top again with potential for better still. Sword of Fate, back over hurdles, and Fathers Advice head up the dangers, along with Cliffs of Dooneen.
