Verdict
WOLFBURG put his troubles behind him in this headgear combination when winning in good style at Wetherby on Boxing Day and should have more to offer after just 2 starts in this sphere. Alltalknoaction is going the right way over fences and must be feared having pulled clear with the winner at Market Rasen, while there was little between Valence d'Aumont and Mersey Street when 1-2 over C&D last month.

VerdictLooked one with serious problems but proved an entirely different proposition on his second start over fences when winning at Wetherby on Boxing Day, first-time headgear/tongue strap the most likely catalyst. Big shout if able to back that up.
