Meade hoping for Muir return

Noel Meade is keeping his fingers crossed that Muirhead can show his true colours in the Limestone Lad Hurdle at Naas tomorrow.

The seven-year-old ran a fine race to split Solwhit and Hurricane Fly on his first outing of the campaign at Punchestown, but could only finish a well-beaten fifth in the December Festival Hurdle at Leopardstown last time.
