Up in trip and may not have stayed when down the field in a handicap hurdle at Ayr most recently. Effective from 2m1f-3m and acts on soft, having been generally consistent until that latest effort. Fair mark on best hurdle form which came here so interesting at a price on chase debut.

Unseated in a handicap chase at Uttoxeter latest when still going well. Off a short break, effective from 2m4f-3m and acts on soft and good, with more to come over fences.
Placed in two hurdle races and a NH flat race from 15 starts. Unseated rider when 6-1 at Uttoxeter over 3m (heavy) in a chase won by House Of Habsburg in December last year on his latest outing. He is wearing cheekpieces for the first time.

Taken on up front and set it up for a closer when comfortably held in a handicap chase at Market Rasen last time. In good form prior to that, off a short break, effective from 2 1/2-3m on good, and the mark looks fair.
A winner of a point-to-point at 2m 4f on good ground, but that win was over two years ago. Finished 19l behind Orange Diamond when fifth of 8 at 16-5fav on his latest outing in a chase at Market Rasen over 3m (good to soft) in December last year.

Verdict
Despite jumping right at times, LARGY TRAIN set perfect fractions to make all of the running at Sedgefield. Charlie Maggs negates a 4lb rise in the handicap with his 5lb claim so this course and distance winner ticks plenty of the right boxes. The biggest threat may be Trac, who travelled with more verve in first-time blinkers when victorious at Newcastle, while Wolfburg is expected to relish a drop in trip.
Expert View Verdict
WOLFBURG was an easy winner on his penultimate start and looked set to follow up before being outstayed in a strongly run race over further than 3m last time. He gets to race off the same mark here and dropped in trip at a stiff venue he can take advantage. Trac has a good record with plenty of cut in the ground and impressed with his jumping when winning last time. The course winner remains very well treated on his old form so looks a big danger with conditions to suit here. At a bigger price Canunclecani is of some interest starting out over fences. He was in good form over hurdles until failing to stay 3m last time and his best efforts in that discipline came at this track. His point form suggests he should improve for the switch to chasing so he's worth following in the betting.
