Formscan By John O'Riordan - With the Pat Murphy yard firing on all cylinders at present, FREE SOLO can prove another winner for the popular Kilkenny trainer. A winner off 75 here last January, the gelding showed that his turn was near when runner-up last week. Now down to 64, with Sam Coen able to claim an additional 7lb, it is difficult to bypass the son of Showcasing. Fly To Glory, a stablemate of Free Solo, has to be respected in his hat-trick bid. Having won over course and distance in mid-week, the topweight is sure to make a bold bid once again. Volatile Analyst is undoubtedly very well handicapped at present but isn't the easiest to win with. Perhaps the addition of first-time blinkers will help in that regard.
