Solerina to make long awaited reappearance at Navan.

Limestone Lad´s stable companion Solerina looks set to make her seasonal reappearance in the Lismullen Hurdle at Navan on Sunday.

However, Michael Bowe, son of trainer James Bowe, did mention that 'Solerina will run as long as the ground is safe with no jar in it.' He also added 'She will need the run and we haven´t got as far as deciding on a jockey yet.'

Solerina was successful on her last six starts and defeated Sun Alliance Novice Hurdle winner Hardy Eustace in the Deloitte and Touche Novice Hurdle at Leopardstown in February before receiving an infection which ruled the mare out of the Cheltenham Festival.

Solerina is again set to renew rivalry with Dessie Hughes´ Hardy Eustace on Sunday after Hughes confirmed that his gelding is '100 per cent' following his successful reappearance in a two mile Flat maiden at the venue in October.
