Our Folly is an interesting runner here as he was third to Saturday's Musselburgh winner Sweet Selection on the Flat at Nottingham when last seen and won over 2m6f at Stratford in September. Exemplary wasn't beaten far at that track last month while Better Days left previous form behind when successful at Worcester. Blackwell Synergy won this last year but TOUCH OF STEEL still look fairly treated despite winning three times in the autumn. He hasn't raced since January but his yard is going well at present and he should be ready for this.
