Race preview
MADE IN THE WOODS looks capable of landing a race of this standard. A faller on his handicap debut he ran a solid race to chase home easy winner Difficult Decision at Limerick over Christmas and that ability to handle testing conditions looks a big plus here. Earths Furies ran well when chasing home Young Dev at Limerick and he is another that has to be on the shortlist in this company. Highstreetfashion comes here on a hat-trick and is still only rated 81. He commands respect again but this might be a bit more competitive. Bite That didn't run too badly when third in a beginners chase at Tramore a fortnight ago and he doesn't look on a bad mark here but previous comments that he wants fast ground would be a concern.
