Verdict

FOLLY MASTER has long looked worth a try at this sort of trip and, with his season seemingly geared around bringing him to peak in the spring, he looks worth siding with in an open affair. J'Arrive de L'Est, Uncle Pat and Jasmin de Grugy head a plethora of potential dangers.

  1. FOLLY MASTER (IRE)
