Race Tip

COMBS (16) had placed on the first four starts of his career before finishing well held in fourth behind a smart runner at Fairyhouse in January. This looks to be a realistic opportunity to get off the mark and rates highly in this field. DUBHAIN (9) was an point to point winner who's made a promising start under rules but looks like he'll improve in handicaps. Tongue strap fitted for the first time. POWERFUL PADDY (13) made an encouraging start for Willie Mullins six weeks ago when second at Thurles. Hard to oppose. BARLEY LANE (6) has hinted at having a good level of ability and is one to note.
