Verdict

Very lightly raced on the back of landing this race 12 months ago, WILD LION quickly returned to form when second at Kempton (7f) in August, keeping on having been caught further back than ideal. Still on a workable mark he gets the nod to confirm the promise of that run, with low-mileage Ripon scorer Nigwa next best. Moon Watch can also feature.
