Formscan By Alan Magee - MADE IN THE WOODS won over a similar trip at Limerick for Norman Lee and again made a bold bid from the front when beaten a neck by Maciver at the same venue last March. The selection only weakened in the straight on his first start over hurdles for Mick Winters and with the benefit of that outing, should give a good account here. Plain Or Battered stays well and was placed behind A Great Buzz in a similar Punchestown event on his penultimate start. Brown Boots has indicated some ability in handicap hurdles including when staying on into fifth over 2m4f at Clonmel earlier this month and could be suited by the step up in trip as he switches to fences.
