Pachacuti did well to get so close on his chasing debut in an eventful race at Warwick and looks certain to improve. HAUT FOLIN, from a yard in blistering form, has a penalty for a convincing victory at Ffos Las last week but is still lower than his hurdles mark. Henschke ended his last campaign with a victory at Plumpton and has to be respected but it's almost three years since Eclair De Guye won a race. Roll With It won a novices' contest here in July but has disappointed subsequently.
