FormscanBy Shane Redmond - SOLNESS (4) is a three-time Grade 1 winner over fences and should be up to this. The eight-year-old has only had one start on the Flat, finishing fourth to Tokyo Tower at the Curragh last month, a run that gives him a big chance in this company. He ran well enough under top-weight in the Guinness Galway Hurdle subsequently and now might be fancied against the 71-rated Glittering Gem who was soundly beaten on her seasonal return at Killarney last month but got much closer when a narrow runner-up at Sligo. Davy Crockett looks best of the remainder as he was a winner over hurdles at both the Galway and Listowel festivals last year.

For three years old and upwards, maidens at starting
