Stamina will come into play in these conditions and CRASH will be ideally suited by a stiff test. Michael Hourigan's point-to-point and bumper winner made a very promising start behind the exciting Aughaloor at Fairyhouse on New Year's Day where he only tired after the last. Drumbaloo, a winner between the flags and of three bumpers including a Grade 2, ran well enough on his hurdling bow behind Another Palm at Down Royal while Dun Masc produced his best run to date when just touched off by White Star Line over the C&D a fortnight ago. Jetson was going on strongly at the finish over 2m2f at Leopardstown last time and the extra furlong is very much in his favour, while Jim Will Fix It showed real battling qualities to land a Grade 2 bumper at Leopardstown over Xmas and looks certain to make a hurdler. The progressive Old McDonald is another who will be suited by the trip and conditions and can get involved in what looks a very strong contest.
