No Folly after bad scope Woolcombe Folly misses tomorrow's Grade 2 totepool Game Spirit Chase at Newbury. Paul Nicholls has been forced to swerve his intended trial for the sportingbet.com Queen Mother Champion Chase because of a bad scope. Writing in his exclusive blog on betfair, the champion trainer said: "Unfortunately, I have had to withdraw Woolcombe Folly from Saturday's Game Spirit Chase at Newbury. "He gave a couple of coughs on Thursday morning, so I got the vet in to scope him after he worked this morning. It came back as a bad scope, so I have withdrawn him on vet's advice." Nicholls will still be represented by Tchico Polos, while the six runner field also includes French Opera, Cornas, Sports Line, I'msingingtheblues and Oiseau de Nuit.
