FormscanBy Donal Murphy - FOLLY MASTER ran a cracker on his return from a near nine month absence at Navan recently. Over a trip short of his optimum, the chestnut six-year-old kept on well in the closing stages at Proudstown Park, finishing a never nearer second to Midnight It Is. Entitled to come on plenty for that comeback effort, it'll be disappointing if he's not involved towards the business end here. A winner at the Cheltenham Festival in 2022, Brazil warrants the utmost respect on his handicap debut over fences, while dual course victor Hardwired, Tom Gibney's Listentillitellya and Gowran winner Noble Talent are other leading hopes.
