Verdict

SOLITARY MAN took a small step forward when runner-up to a Willie Mullins favourite at Ballinrobe in May and with further progress on the cards, he's fancied to open his account at the expense of Presenting Lad, who proved better than ever when scoring at Roscommon recently. Ricky Langford and Bigz Belief can do battle for minor honours.
