Formscan By Gary Carson - SOLWHIT is obviously the class act here and although there have to be doubts surrounding him on his return from a long absence if he is anywhere near his best he'll beat these rivals. Charles Byrnes has said in the past that he doesn't take a lot of work to get him right so hopefully fitness shouldn't be an issue. A switch to chasing has been mooted for the eight-year-old and his performance here will most likely define the rest of his season. Staying Article has to give the selection 4lb and although he is probably the pick of the others that looks a big ask. He was put in his place by Midnight Game went an odds-on shot at Fairyhouse earlier this month but the winner is a classy sort and has been victorious again since. Simenon is another who was turned over at a short price last time. Heavy ground was the excuse then and with an inspection planned here surely the ground is not going to suit again. Solwhit's regular partner Davy Russell is on Bog Warrior for his employers. He was entitled to win as he did off a low rating in a handicap hurdle last time but this is a serious step up in grade over timber now and he would need to be equally as good over the smaller obstacles as he is over jumps to take this.
