Solitary Man records fifth win at favourite track Solitary Man (6/4 favourite) enhanced his fine record at Killarney when taking the Thorn Plant Hire Hunters Chase over two miles, seven furlongs. Having tracked the leaders under Josh Halford, the Champs Elysees gelding was pushed along entering the straight and jumped to the front two out before staying on well to score by a length and a-half from What Path.  Winning trainer Enda Bolger quipped: "As Del Boy (in Only Fools And Horses) said 'well, we've had worse days!' "There's another one of these hunter chases for him in Listowel in three weeks and that'll be the plan, although this ground is a big factor for him. He likes going left-handed, that's his fifth win around here and he is a lovely fun horse. "Unfortunately, Josh is turning professional in July, only just after I making him! He is great over a fence, has a lot of show-jumping done and he gels with this horse. Bolger was completing a double after Samba Train's win in the first, and also landed the Tote Killarney National with Pride Of Place on the first day of the May meeting on Saturday. He added "We've had a great few days so, like Del Boy and Rodney, I'll have to go out to the car and start rocking it!" Quotes from Tom Weekes
