FOL HOLLOW is well clear on official ratings and arrives on the back of a victory in similar company at Carlisle. Dandy Nicholls' charge will be a short price to go in again here but should oblige. The Jailer won twice earlier in the season but has been out of sorts since, while Andrasta scored at Thirsk last month but has plenty to find on today's terms. Charlie Delta separated a couple of dismal efforts with a third at Bath, while the biggest danger on form, Northern Bolt, was engaged to run at Carlisle yesterday.
