Racing Post verdict
Third-partyWolf of Badenoch heads our figures on 70 in this five-runner Class 6 contest over twelve furlongs, six pounds clear of the nearest of these rivals, and is the pick on that advantage alone. Educate and Sixty Plus, tied on 64, look the most likely to trouble him, with Max Of Stars also on the scene from a little further back. Confidence in the selection is medium at Thirsk on good going.
Racing Post pick: Wolf of Badenoch
