THE VERY MAN has been running well in defeat in a number of starts November and can take advantage of his experience over hurdles to get off the mark over timber at the fifth attempt. The six-year-old finished a gallant second behind the Cheltenham festival bound Francin on his latest start at Navan last month. The Gordon Elliott-trained gelding can hold off his biggest dangers, who are expected to be Gold Des Bois for trainer Jessica Harrington, who posted a decent effort on his third start in a Thurles maiden hurdle over 2m5f to finish third of 17 beaten 4L behind Granny Knot last month and the Willie Mullins-trained Kaatskill Nap on his first run for 524 days.
