Verdict

Big Leg Up landed a hunter chase here last March and reappeared with a cracking effort at Navan and wasn't at his best when well beaten at Leopardstown. School Lane was in excellent form at the turn of the year and is just 4lb higher than when scoring at Perth in January. LADY MCCABE (NAP) was in poor form until well supported at Wexford where she won in a canter. She easily defied an 8lb rise at Tramore to complete a double and another 10lb rise can be brushed aside. Westy Fox was well supported at Navan in February but was behind when brought down two out.
