The lightly-raced FOLLY MASTER shaped well, not least with a view to stepping back up to this sort of trip, when second at Navan (2m) 16 days ago, finishing to good effect having met some trouble. He earns the vote to prove this mark within reach. Gowran-winner Noble Talent and Hardwired, who shaped much better than being pulled up suggests last time, is another worth a second look.
