Verdict
Navan bumper winner Aughaloor makes his hurdling debut and is obviously one to keep an eye on as is stablemate I'm Still Standing though he flopped twice in testing ground after his debut success in a Leopardstown bumper. Original Option pulled too hard when a long odds-on chance at Naas and that wasn't his true running as his earlier second to Mount Helicon was a very promising effort. Crash landed a Dromahane point on his racecourse debut and had no problems following up in a bumper on this course in February. He could prove useful while Curling looked as though a stiff test of stamina would suit with a couple of decent runs in the spring. JAKROS didn't quite last out the trip when runner-up to Saville Row over 2m6f at Down Royal and while he faces some potentially useful performers his experience can stand him in good stead.
