PLENTY of space has been devoted to the Grand National meeting so instead we look at Gowran Park this afternoon and Keeneland tonight in an effort to provide a slightly different narrative.

Dermot Weld sent out True Solitaire to win his maiden at Galway last summer and subsequently bought the horse that finished second to him on that occasion, The Moore Factor. That purchase looked quite shrewd when True Solitaire went on to finish second in a Group 3 on Irish Champions weekend followed by a short-head second in the Group 2 Beresford Stakes.
