Meade happy with Native

Noel Meade is not expecting any fireworks from Go Native as the three-time Grade One winner makes his first appearance in over 900 days at Navan today.

The nine-year-old was sent off favourite for the 2010 Champion Hurdle, chasing a substantial bonus following wins in the Fighting Fifth at Newcastle and the Christmas Hurdle at Kempton.

However, Go Native suffered an injury during the race, finished well beaten and has not been seen since.
