THE FERRY MASTER looks a chaser going places for the Sandy Thomson team and it's worth chancing his stamina as there's a feeling he's still ahead of his mark. Le Breuil rates a danger on the back of a good run in the Classic at Warwick, while Dino Boy was helped by a faller at the last when taking the Borders National in December but is still respected as a progressive, young stayer.
