Formscan - Village Master hasn't looked back since undergoing a wind procedure and commands respect in his bid to land a four-timer. A 4lb rise for his latest triumph at Worcester isn't too much of a concern, but ART OF DIPLOMACY is slightly more compelling. Mickey Bowen's gelding arrives at the top of his game judged on his recent C&D victory and looks capable of defying a 10lb hike. The returning Young Buster is the pick of the remainder.
