Longer trip can help Folio to buck long losing run

A NEW distance can give Folio his best chance of a first victory in over three years at Nottingham today.

Willie Musson’s gelding competed in Listed class as a juvenile, but accordingly struggled with a high rating in handicaps for the next couple of seasons.

He has started to run a lot better since his mark began to tumble, but as a five-year-old, he seems to need a slightly longer trip as he does all of his best work at the end.
