FormscanBy Michael Graham - A very competitive contest. Willie Mullins is well represented and his FISHERY LANE could be the answer. The Grade 1 Albert Bartlett proved too hot for him at Cheltenham, however, his best form has been on rain-softened ground and his decisive maiden hurdle success at this track in January merits plenty of respect. Blaze The Way has been mixing in good company and his second at Navan and fourth in Uttoxeter read well. Custom Taylor arrives in rude health from a cruise around Limerick and he very rarely runs a below-par race, so is one for the shortlist. Autoportrait is a very consistent horse for Mouse Morris, while Stuart Crawford's Ayiko is another to consider.
