Jim Will Fix It looked promising when scoring at Punchestown in 2013 but found the company too hot later though he's slowly dropping in the ratings. CROWN THEATRE hs to be held up and probably struck the front too soon when collared by Boher Call at Limerick. That was only his second start since completing a double in October and, as he's still only a six-year-old, he has more to offer and can get back to winning ways. Boher Call is one of four recent winners at the bottom of the weights. The Mooch was having only his fifth run over fences when scoring at Tramore though he was a long way behind the selection at Wexford in October. The Conker Club has a similar profile and she has put her jumping problems behind her though she may need quicker ground. Up Sluggarh has gone up 10lb for his victory at Wexford but it could have been more as he was eased down but still won by a wide margin. It's All An Act was in cracking form on fast going in the autumn so any more rain would dent his prospects.
