In depth

Verdict

Divine Folly hasn't done a lot wrong in either start. His second at Plumpton in November sets a fair standard here but the one to be on may be David Pipe's newcomer BATHWICK BRAVE who, as a four-year-old, gets all the allowances. The latter's dam was a bumper winner in her own right and the stable has enjoyed some success with similar sorts in the past. Fellow debutant Ashbourne Folly could be interesting when tackling longer trips but the remainder probably have something to prove.
