Formscan By Tom Weekes - Prolific winning pointer ROCKY’S HOWYA reverts to hurdling and can score from his 102 rating. Winner of nine point-to-points, he finished fourth in Cheltenham’s Open Hunters Chase in 2023 and while he hasn’t raced over hurdles since October 2021, should retain ability being just a nine-year-old. He has also had a recent spin, albeit a spill, between the flags. Course-and-distance winner The Miracle Man and Cullig are each capable stayers who should both improve from recent seasonal reappearance runs. Billy Lee Swagger has been lightly-raced this year but if he returns to his fourth-placing at the Punchestown festival, can get involved.
