FOLLOW THE CROWD is progressing steadily and, having gained a deserved first win in cosy fashion over fences at Roscommon last time, he boasts excellent claims of following up off a 6 lb lower mark in this sphere. Arrycan is also returning to the smaller obstacles and appeals as a danger, while it would be dangerous to dismiss Maxxum on his first outing for Gordon Elliott.
