The eight-year-old gelding, STAND UP AND FIGHT can add a second career win over the larger obstacles under jockey Derek O'Connor. The J P McManus-owned son of Flemensfirth can see of the attentions of his closest rivals, expected to be Mighty Stowaway for trainer J J Hanlon and January hunter chase winner at Clonmel, Some Man. Samurai Cracker, winner of a Limerick hunter chase over Christmas could emerge as a lively outsider.
