Formscan - WOLFBURG bolted up on just his second start over fences at Wetherby on Boxing Day. A 6lb rise for that success appears to be more than fair and Sandy Thomson's gelding gets the nod in an open event. Valence D'Aumont pipped Mersey Street over C&D last month and both are likely to go well once again. The shortlist is completed by Defence Witness and Bravethewaves.
