Ricky Langford has won over hurdles and fences in his two visits here and had a bit in hand at Wexford last month. SOLITARY MAN came up against a well treated rival when runner-up at Ballinrobe on what was only his fifth start so he gets the nod to go one better as though Presenting Lad was always travelling like a winner at Roscommon he'll be racing from 11lb higher. Dixie Flyer still has some potential though returns after a very long break as does Babylon Beach, who is likely to be back over fences before long. Charcor may have more to offer and is one to keep an eye on.
