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.

Quotes on Brazil (IRE)
Yesterday was the plan but unfortunately that didn't go to plan and in fairness to Mark (Walsh) he looked after him. We had him in today and it was great, Niall gave him a great ride so I'm delighted. When I was only a young lad, Niall was in India when Dad was over there so I know Niall a long time. It's great and he gave him a great ride.

Quotes on Now Where Or When (IRE)
I was very tempted to be going for the race tomorrow with him over three miles (handicap chase). Two miles is plenty short enough, I know he won the beginners' over two miles. Stepping up into better company, he definitely wants further. I was just worried about tomorrow if we get a deluge here tonight it could open up. He's a grand big horse. He has never really run a bad race, he has been very consistent and sure hopefully he will keep progressing. Daryl Jacob rode him in the spring for us at Fairyhouse and he suggested to have a go with him over the National fences, so that could be an option down the line. That's Sam's first winner for me and sure hopefully he will get a few more. He gave him a great ride. He's had a good few rides for me but it is good to get a winner for him. After the first (fence), he was gaining at every fence.

Quotes on From The Ashes (IRE)
He was a frustrating old horse and had been threatening but not delivering,. We rode him a bit more positively today and they went a proper gallop which probably helped. The ground couldn't be tough enough for him and today's race rode more like a three-mile race as the ground was very sticky.

Quotes on Noble Talent (IRE)
When we saw the entries, we said we'd run if Danny was happy to ride him. Danny rang me the other day and walked the track and said he'd like to ride him. I have to thank him for this. JJ (Slevin) and Danny both said he should do well over fences. Danny walked this on Wednesday and told me the ground was lovely, in Mallow it was too quick for him. He needs three miles but we were quite happy with that. He'll handle a good bit softer than this. Jumping is a big strong point with him. He's a funny little horse, Danny pulled out wide as I don't think he likes being bullied inside in a big bunch. We had a cute man riding him. Have you ever seen a jockey to keep improving so much? He's brilliant. He works for small trainers really well because he puts a lot into it. JJ was suggesting to me that we should be looking at the Tim Duggan, he said that after Sligo. Danny said the same, that we should be looking at a decent handicap. He was thinking we could go out to three or three-and-a-half miles with him. He's in good order and fences seem to be improving him. He's something to look forward to.

Quotes on Marronstown (IRE)
The penny is just dropping with him. He stays very well and he always hits a flat spot but I wanted to run him on good ground once. He handles the soft ground so well but it’s nice to see him on good ground today. He’s jumped from fence to fence. He’s a strange horse in his head and it’s taken him a long time to mature. We’ve had to be very patient. He’s put together three good runs and that’s the first time he’s done that since we’ve had him. I thought he was in front too soon as he can look about him, but the big track helps him as he’s coming home a long way. Maybe he could be competitive later in the year in one of those Nationals. He stays so well. Menindee fell when in front at the last in this race last year so that makes up for it.
