FormscanBy Michael Graham - SCOTT LANG has form on fast ground on the Flat and should have more to offer on his second start over hurdles. He may not have quite got home when third over 2m3f on jumping debut at Clonmel last month, so the drop back in trip can help. He has been placed on his last two starts in staying handicaps on the Flat. Nathaniel filly New Year Honours should be a factor. She won on the all-weather track at Lingfield for Ralph Beckett and has had three spins over hurdles for Gordon Elliott. She has a best finish of second at Down Royal in November and hasn't been seen since December. Fermoyle has been placed in two bumpers and has claims on his hurdling debut. Bukhill was unplaced in two bumpers for Willie Mullins, but went off favourite in both. He is worth a market check on his first start for Peter Fahey.
