Some ground concerns but smart front-runner can again take the measure of Solness

Smart hurdler fit from good run at Galway; won a point but stiff task on chase debut
NR	Solness Bay J:TBC T:Joseph Patrick Obrien	J: T:Joseph Patrick Obrien	159	t	211-22	138	151	121	53d	—	—	+14	25.1	1.88/1	15/2 12%
Second to Hercule Du Seuil last twice and got closer to him at Galway; 3lb better off

4yo was kept busy over hurdles and winning chase start at Galway; minor honours at best

Likeable sort rated 128 and has nice bit of experience but unlikely winner

Fair hurdler was third on recent chase debut in mares' beginners; looks outclassed
