FormscanBy Alan Magee - SOLITARY MAN progressed well over hurdles last year including winning twice at this venue and showed plenty of stamina when landing a three-mile Listed event at Cork in November. The Enda Bolger-trained gelding has always been viewed as a future chaser and now takes the first step over larger obstacles. Duffle Coat was a prolific winner in juvenile hurdles and, while without a win since, has filled the runner-up spot four times over fences this year including over this trip at Downpatrick last month. Music Of Tara opened her account over hurdles in a competitive 2m4f handicap at the Leopardstown Christmas meeting and the point-to-point winner successfully switched to fences over the same trip at Tipperary last month.
