A SEASON that looked to have gone badly awry for Woods Well took a marked turn for the better as he made a resounding return to form in the €50,000 TRI Equestrian Handicap Chase to become a late inclusion on Gordon Elliott’s Cheltenham team.

After a series of lacklustre runs in big handicaps Woods Well lined up as the 14/1 outsider of the field and he was by far the least fancied of the three Elliott and Gigginstown House Stud-owned runners.
