GO STILL FAVOURITE FOR GOLD CUP HONOURS

Ian Fortune

Solo And Go may have suffered defeat in the second round of the Tote Gold Cup at Shelbourne Park on Saturday night but he remains a hot favourite to land the early season showpiece.

In fact, BOYLE Sports cut his odds to 2-1 following an eye-catching run behind his kennel companion Ballymac Siun.

Ballymac Stud also suffered defeat but remains the clear second choice at 7-2, while Crossfield Matt also found one too good but remain the third choice in the market at 6-1. Swords Style maintained his unbeaten record in the stake with a typically plucky front-running display and is 8-1, while Callaway Five is just 10-1 after his impressive second round victory. The aforementioned Ballymac Siun was cut in the betting but is still available at 12-1 despite setting the standard with a 28.30 return. Clona Comet also greatly impressed and is now 14-1 to win the stake. The full market can be found below:
