Verdict
Menindee had Temptationinmilan close behind in second when tackling this trip at Punchestown and meets the runner-up on similar terms. Norwigi has only been placed once in eight starts over fences and looks a few pounds high but MEEHALL still looks well treated. Eric McNamara's charge won comfortably over hurdles last time and scored over fences at Killarney earlier and is guaranteed a good ride from Becky Smith. Derek O'Connor rides the stable's Owl Creek Bridge but it's a long time since he showed any form.
