Verdict
MEMORY OF YOUTH (NAP) showed little in three starts over fences but has been in fine form over hurdles and reverts to the bigger obstacles on a 26lb lower mark so looks the one to beat. Carried easily won a Wexford handicap last summer and is only 4lb higher but Nuttridge, who has won over hurdles here, made too many mistakes on just his second start over fences here in October. Big Leg Up won the hunter-chase at the meeting a year ago but disappointed when favourite at Leopardstown a couple of weeks ago after a promising handicap debut at Navan. School Lane was in superb form at the turn of the year, winning four times, but paid the price in the weights.
