Verdict
A low-grade handicap in which MADE IN THE WOODS (NAP) can regain the winning thread on his return to hurdles. After a succession of seconds over fences, he won a handicap chase at Limerick before a fair effort at Wexford and is 16lb lower back over timber. Meehall's victory at Galway in October puts him in the frame and his two puled up efforts were over fences while stablemate Holiday In Kerry has won over the trip in testing conditions. Captain Jimmy has struggled from his raised mark after beating a huge field at Punchestown in January.
