Formscan By John O'Riordan - Former Munster National winner ONTHEROPES can register a first success under this code since that 2021 victory at Limerick. A point-to-point scorer at Carrigarostig in January, he finished runner-up in a competitive hunter chase at Naas on his return to the track the following month. Following respectable runs at Cheltenham and Aintree, the 11-year-old filled fourth place at the Punchestown Festival earlier this month. He should find this an easier assignment than what he has faced of late. Vina Ardanza, third in a Grade 1 novice hurdle behind Jonbon and El Fabiolo at his peak, has the potential to do well as a hunter chaser. Course winner Asphalt Cowboy is young enough to improve further in the coming seasons.
