PREVIEW
This preview is for members only...
SOLITARY MAN impressed on his first start in this sphere at Castletown-Geoghegan a fortnight ago, and whilst there are a few new rivals for him to take on here, he sets the standard. Gordon Elliott could run a pair of talented horses from the staying handicap division with Chemical Energy and The Goffer, with the former having finished placed in the Munster National on this corresponding weekend 12 months ago.
