Row in with Woodhouse

JESSICA Harrington’s horses are in rude health right now and the wise course of action is surely to row in with her Woodhouse in the opening Martinstown Opportunity Maiden Hurdle at Downpatrick this afternoon.

The selection has a serious chance on his best form and probably can be forgiven a couple of below-par efforts, on the basis that they came at a time when the trainer’s string was badly out of sorts.

At Naas back in November, Woodhouse had future winner stamped all over him when a highly creditable fourth to Forty Licks and Travino.
