FormscanBy Tom Weekes - Stablemates SHANBALLY KID and Aime Desjy are closely matched on a Christmas meeting but Paul Townend's pick might turn placings. That form was boosted by the runner-up winning next time and while Shanbally Kid's effort was unexciting, he seemed one-paced with half a mile to race and could be better suited by this distance. He is also 7lb better off with his eight year old stablemate. Found A Fifty, Solskjaer's first jumps runner, was left clear to win his debut point-to-point and while beaten on bumper debut, it was his first run for 350 days and can progress. Ex-Willie Mullins' Hemlock was well beaten in March's Albert Bartlett and while also pulled up over Christmas, is useful at best. Monalee's half-brother Monty's Star reappears but has points experience. Twoconduit was left clear to win his points debut for Ciaran Fennessy while Slate Lane, a half-brother to Chatham Street Lad, showed points form for Raymond Beresford.
