War Howl
Won back-to-back 7f races on sound surfaces last summer when with Mick Appleby but has been well below that level of form in all five starts for his current trainer; very handy mark but no recent signs of revival.

From the connections
“War Howl is a nice big horse and hopefully he'll keep progressing. I thought he'd come on a lot from Doncaster, we were quite confident he'd do the job again. He's settled in quite well and is easy to deal with, and in his races he just does as much as he needs to. We'll have a sit down after today and see where we'll aim for next - Mick Appleby, trainer.”
