16:30 Wolves

Wyvern (by Bated Breath).

As noted previously trainer Stuart Williams in good form generally and worth following.

His record in Novice races at Wolves is impressive (only 9 runners but 3 winners, 5 placed).

Bated Breath is a capable sire over the unique course and distance of the extended mile.

He cost 30k which is quite inexpensive but the sire has done well over the last year and can potentially mix it with the others.

Much will depend if we can get the Andrew Balding Frankel beaten. Balding is not in the greatest form so worth opposing. Nolton Cross is more like the danger.

Wyvern himself is down in class from debut and up in trip.

Joe Fanning takes the ride (a very experienced jockey).

Odds: 20/1 (E/W bet365 w/ Best Odds Guaranteed).

Straight Forecast w/ Nolton Cross (a few pounds for insurance).
