FOLK TUNE and promising conditional Dean Pratt have been making hay in sellers lately. John Quinn's eight-year-old finds little off the bridle but has a decent turn of foot at this level and the 10lb claimer appears to have found the key to him. A hat-trick beckons. Richard Guest's pair Catawollow and Pobs Trophy were both engaged at Uttoxeter on Friday but Pillar Of Hercules could be interesting dropped in grade and Command Marshal won on the Flat at Warwick in June. He makes more appeal than the one-paced Morocchius.
