Crosshouse Boy started favourite for a handicap here on Monday but ran poorly. Winning point-to-pointer GLENGOULY didn't have the pace for bumpers but this should bring out the best in him and he can get off the mark. Split The Bucket also won between the flags before runner-up in a Fairyhouse bumper last November while Mahler Mission was only beaten a length on his hurdling bow at Ballinrobe in August. Castlehill Boy has shown potential in bumpers and is bred to be a staying jumper.
