Verdict

Mr Solomon was well beaten at Fairyhouse on Monday and stablemate The Greek, who is bred to be a staying chaser, may get a run from his reserve spot. Pont Du Gard, who has a cracking pedigree for jumping, has joined Joseph O'Brien after a promising debut in France in November 2019. Like Golf Marin he's owned by J P McManus and the latter showed the benefit of his opening run when only weakening from the last over this track and trip last month. Presenting Lad looks as though he needs further as does three-times Flat winner New Society while Mahons Glory was beaten 21 lengths when runner-up at Cork. MICRO MANAGE, a dual Flat winner and placed in the Grade 3 St Leger Trial at the Curragh, pulled much too hard when attempting to make all on his hurdling debut at Leopardstown and had just been headed when making a mistake at the last. He'll be at short odds here but looks the one to beat.
