Easy winner in this sphere at Down Royal over Christmas, this a tougher race but won't be easy to beat on that form.
Once the top dog in these races, getting on in years now and entitled to need the run here on first outing since April.
Former Cheltenham Gold Cup runner-up tends to do things on his own terms nowadays. Won point race last month and an interesting recruit to this type of race.
Not the force of old but ran solid race to be second in a point last month and is another who could take strongly to this.
Very lightly raced winning pointer, has youth on his side but not much else against some of today's rivals and was out of sorts over hurdles last month at Limerick.
Forecasts
Foxrock (4/6), On His Own (9/4), First Lieutenant (6/1), Salsify (20/1), Ruairis Cloud (66/1)
A cracking Hunter Chase in prospect to close out the card Down Royal winner FOXROCK might well be the answer. He was an easy winner last time out and is a more trusted performer than On His Own these days. The latter did win a point last time out however and clearly has the talent to take his order in this sphere if he's in the mood. First Lieutenant also ran well between the flags last month but former Cheltenham Festival scorer Salsify is entitled to need this run.
1. Foxrock
2. First Lieutenant
3. On His Own
