FormscanBy Mark Nunan - SOLOMAN LANE got off the mark with a hard-fought success over a furlong shorter at Punchestown last month. Ridden by an in-form claimer on that occasion, he is now partnered by dual Grade One-winning jockey Michael O'Sullivan. The latter's allowance negates most of the 7lb hike that the Sakhee gelding got for that breakthrough victory over a horse that was runner-up again next time. Arctic Ambition ran a stinker over Christmas but that was too bad to be true and he still looks well handicapped after winning his previous chase start at Thurles. All of his best form is going this way around so that might explain his blip at Leopardstown. Halsafari is being kept busy and, although disappointing last time, his previous two placed efforts read well. Extreme Cacao is a lurker down the bottom who steps up in trip after a fair chase debut at Clonmel while Priory Park gets headgear and is well-handicapped compared to his hurdles mark. %0A
