Formscan By Michael Graham - BARLEY LANE was an eye-catcher in second on hurdle debut at Punchestown. He kept the winning favourite honest in the closing stages and that horse followed up at Clonmel. Barley Lane wasn't as good when third on his next start in Naas, but that was a hot maiden. Powerful Paddy is an obvious threat after finishing runner-up in Thurles on stable debut for Willie Mullins. Out Of Aces ran well for a long way before dropping to fourth in an academy hurdle at Cork, while the 120-rated Combs has plenty of experience over flights. Carrig Padraig has switched to Gavin Cromwell after easily winning a ladies' bumper at Fairyhouse in October to add more depth to a good contest.
A hurdle for four years old and upwards, maidens at starting
Weights - 4-y-o 11st 2lbs 5-y-o and up 11st 12lbs. Mares allowed 7lbs.
