FERNY HOLLOW has claimed some notable scalps in his stop-start career to date and Willie Mullins' former Champion Bumper winner is fancied to improve massively on his chasing debut success and end the unbeaten run of Riviere d'Etel. Gordon Elliott's filly has been foot perfect in her three runs over fences though and is sure to take some pegging back. Coeur Sublime rates the pick of the remainder.
