1/6
Formerly high class chaser who improved on the form of his point-to-point second at Borris House in December by rattling off three successive wins in hunter chases including when beating the classy On The Fringe at Leopardstown a month ago. Likely to prove very hard to beat in this.

25/1
Winner of a maiden point-to-point in February 2016 and a maiden hunter chase at Cork the following month. Well beaten in last three attempts in point-to-point company and has plenty on his plate here.

10/1
Winner of the confined hunts race at Punchestown point-to-point for the second successive year last month but generally well held in open company and hunter chases and a place looks more likely than a win here.

Age: 13|  Weight: 11-4| J: Mr N Gault(7)| T: H Smyth| OR:  108
33/1
Five times a winner under rules but generally well held in open point-to-points for this stable since returning from a 32 month absence in February 2016 and looks up against it once more here.

Maple Mons13
Age: 9|  Weight: 11-1| J: R Deegan(7)| T: D M Christie
11/2
Still in front when falling two from home in a point-to-point at Borris House last time out. Also a winner of three mares open point-to-point races and a Wexford hunter chase this season. Has plenty to find with Foxrock but likely to run well once more.

Horse silk
Uisce Ur20
Age: 5|  Weight: 10-5| J: Liam Quinlan(7)| T: W J Martin
25/1
Winner of a mares maiden at Tinahely last month, her first win in 12 attempts in point-to-point races. Steps up markedly in grade here.

Forecasts

Foxrock (1/6), Maple Mons (11/2), Enniskillen (10/1), Uisce Ur (25/1), Harry The Lemmon (25/1), Frontier Dancer (33/1)

Verdict

FOXROCK is ineligible for the Cheltenham Foxhunters but can gain some compensation by taking this prestigious Tetratema Cup. The selection was a high class horse under rules and on his most recent victory at Leopardstown retains plenty if not all of his ability. In a race with little strength in depth to it he can get the better of the consistent mare Maple Mons with the veteran Enniskillen taken to finish third.
  1. Foxrock
  2. Maple Mons
  3. Enniskillen
