PREVIEW
This preview is for members only...
SOLITARY MAN only found the 134-rated The Goffer too strong at Umma House recently, but this looks like an ideal opportunity for him to gain his second success of the season following his impressive victory at Castletown-Geoghegan. Two-time hunter chase winner Lisleigh Lad ran well for a long way on his return at Curraghmore last week, whilst Shantreusse could be the pick of the open debutants, having finished second in the Nas Na Riogh at Naas earlier in the year when with Henry de Bromhead.
