Race preview

IDAS BOY looks the part. This son of Dubai Destination landed a point-to-point by eight lengths in Dromahane in April last year for Eamonn Gallagher. He then switched to Noel Meade and took second in a bumper at Clonmel last November. He had no less than four subsequent hurdle winners in behind him in that race, so the form looks very strong. Il Courra was very heavily backed at Kilbeggan in August but was beaten a length and three quarter into second. Both the winner and the fourth home delivered in their next bumpers to really boost the form. Il Courra could be the one to profit if Idas Boy needs the run. Fourneux D'isanka is likely to improve upon a third place in his first bumper at Leopardstown last season.
