FormscanBy Tom Weekes - Capable hunter CON’S ROC has his favoured testing ground conditions for today’s seasonal reappearance and represents last weekend’s Troytown Chase-winning trainer. Lightly-raced, he is a dual point-to-point winner and at Limerick last Christmas, showed good form to beat Willitgoahead who subsequently finished third in Cheltenham’s Open Hunters Chase, with today’s rival and stablemate West Of Corrig taking third. Top weight Big Interest was the wide-margin winner of the Joseph O’Reilly Chase here last April and while his form can be in-and-out, is race-fit and clearly capable at his best. Reappearing Fountain House would ideally prefer a sounder surface.
