SHERWOODS FOLLY was enjoying a real scrap with Lutin Du Moulin when falling in the home straight at Wetherby and the form has been impressively franked when the latter scored convincingly in open handicap company. The nine-year-old will receive quality assistance from the saddle and recent rain will assist his cause. Commercial Express is a leading player too, having landed a Perth hunter chase in April. His consistency and experience should see him in the shake-up whilst What Of It has shown more than enough under Rules this year to warrant shortlist inclusion. He's a decent hunter at his best, with the veteran Amicelli and the promising Echo India also respected in a fair contest.
