Progressive Solomon Northup set to deliver

Solomon Northup sets a decent standard in the one-mile Irish Stallion Farms 2-Y-0 Maiden in Dundalk tonight.

Charles O’Brien’s American-bred Scat Daddy colt has looked progressive in this three starts, earning an official rating of 90, which should make him very difficult to beat in a polytrack maiden in mid-December.

Fifth to Hall Of Fame on his debut at Leopardstown back I July, he wasn’t seen again until late September, when he filled sixth spot (at 100/1) in the hot Curragh maiden won by subsequent Group 2 winner Ol Man River.
