Going - Soft to Heavy, heavy in places. Overcast and showery

Formscan By Tom Weekes - FOLLY MASTER finished second to today’s rival Lough Nigara last month but might turn form, as he still retains a favourable hurdles rating. A capable heavy-ground chaser who finished second in that sphere when rated of 130 last April, the selection had his first start over hurdles since January 2024 in the recent Punchestown race and while beaten 5.5 lengths by Lough Nigara, is 6lb better off. Themanintheanorak has been running well and while 2lb higher than when finishing second over course-and-distance in November, today’s rider is able to claim 7lb. Low Style and Wakey Wakey Man have useful recent form.
