In the seller, Fol Hollow is selected ahead of Fol Hollow and Lady Benjamin. Artdeal turns out again quickly following his claiming win at Brighton and, given that it was a surprise to see him competing at that level last time, he must hold very good chances here at this lower grade. Do connections want to get rid of him? Fol Hollow has shown decent-enough form outside of selling company, including on heavy going, and he has to be given every chance. Lady Benjamin won a Hamilton maiden last time and we are also suprised to see her competing at this level although the going might slow her up a little, while Rio Taffeta has proven consistent at this level, including on soft, and is entitled to some thought. Finally, Climaxtackledotcom showed some promise on heavy going on his debut and has to be given some thought quickly dropped to this level and Coffeecup attracts similar comments, although his five-furlong debut came on good to soft. All in all, quite an interesting seller with the selection being Fol Hollow.
