Formscan By Mark Nunan - A prolific winner in point-to-points, ROCKY'S HOWYA stands out here by virtue of his excellent fourth in the hunter chase at the 2023 Cheltenham festival. He made a fine return to action after 18 months off when second to a smart rival in a point in November and this looks a good chance for him to get off the mark under rules. Rules debutant Willitgoahead represents a top pointing yard and has won four of his nine starts, including a hat-trick of victories since October. Hitak won three points for Ellemarie Holden last winter but has not been seen since he was pulled up in a good-class hunter chase at Naas in February. Look Dont Touch has decent placed form in handicap chases.%A0
