FormscanBy Mark Nunan - Paul Flynn is a force to be reckoned with in handicaps and the effervescent Longford handler can strike here with SOLAR DRIVE. Bred by the Niarchos family, the Mastercraftsman gelding is one of seven individual handicap winners saddled by Flynn this season having scored over this trip at Cork last month. Unable to reel in Dont Do Dramas over shorter at Sligo last time, Colin Keane's mount is now 8lb better off with that rival and can turn the tables back at 1m4f. Granite Bay is up 4lb for his handicap debut win at Cork and steps up in trip by a couple of furlongs. Connections were concerned about quick ground at Cork and he may improve for getting his toe in here.%0A
