Tramore

Granted, Solness is a much higher-rated hurdler than DAVY CROCKETT, but the latter might enjoy the absence of obstacles and it's not hard to imagine Daniel King getting a good tune out of him. Solness' first Flat run at the Curragh was perfectly good and he has the usual cheekpieces back on this time. If there's a bit of kindness in the ground, Glittering Gem should go well and she's unlikely to be found wanting for stamina. The market will be a guide to the chance of Metallic. [Mark Nunan]
