Verdict
There are plenty of interesting newcomers to note in the betting here with the likes of After The Roar, Inothewayurthinkin and Bowmore all of interest, but LOT OF JOY ran a cracking third last time in the Irish Cesarewitch and will prove tough to beat for leading connections if proving as effective over timber. However, previous experience can prove vital in such contests, so Solitary Man rates a major threat after a pleasing Roscommon debut when runner-up to Black Hawk Eagle in a similar contest in which he had the rest of the field well beaten. Granted normal improvement, he should get involved. His yard also unveils a Gleneagles gelding, Headwind, and he's worth a market check, likewise Timmy Tuesday, who ran out on his sole pointing run but now debuts for the in-form Gordon Elliott team.
