Stormy and raining
FormscanBy Eamonn Murphy - SOLINDIAN is arguably the most interesting runner on this programme as the venue stage another Friday card a fortnight on from the last meeting here.On that occasion Gordon Elliott,who rarely leaves the County Down venue empty handed,saddled a double,and he'll likely have high hopes for Solindian now.It can hardly have occurred too often in the past,that a winning Willie Mullins debutant has its second start for Gordon Elliott,but that's what has transpired in the case of Solindian.The Qatar Racing Limited-owned French-bred won a Kilbeggan bumper for Willie and Patrick Mullins in August,and runner-up then,Decor Irlandais,has since bolted-up in a point-to-point.By Solon,like the top-class Solwhit,Davy Russell takes the ride on the five-year-old in a nice piece of symmetry seeing as the champion jockey was aboard for nine of the Charles Byrnes-trained star's fifteen successes.Solwhit enjoyed his finest hour in the 2013 World Hurdle and it's not difficult to envisage Solindian enjoying the extended two and three quarter miles of this assignment.He's only got five rivals to deal with,including his former stable companion Koroleva,also upped in distance.He's No Molly is potentially interesting for Noel Meade and Jonathan Moore as well.
