Formscan By Mark Nunan - Second in last year's renewal, SQUIRE OHARA might be able to go one better on his second Rules' start for Ian Donoghue. The Milan gelding run creditably behind some of the leading hunter-chasers at Down Royal over Christmas, and a recent point-to-point outing should have him primed for this assignment. Hearts And Spades has been a prolific winner in point-to-points this season and may be suited by coming back in trip having raced keenly on his hunter-chase debut over three miles at Cork. Last Round has solid hunter-chase form and may be more suited by this trip than Asphalt Cowboy who won over a mile farther last year and is now tried in blinkers.%A0
