Sol De Mayo attempted to make all at Aintree but couldn't quicken when headed 1f out. He looks certain to make a bold bid though a couple of newcomers catch the eye, non more so than MASTER MALACHY. He's by Mastercraftsman out of a mare who has produced numerous winners on the Flat and over hurdles and could be good enough to make a winning start. Sir Charles Lytton is also related to numerous winners and is a rare runner in this sphere for Richard Fahey.
