Verdict
CON'S ROC has his favoured testing ground conditions for this 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 at the Cheltenham Festival, with West Of Carrig third. Big Interest was a wide-margin winner here back in April and although his form can be in-and-out, he is fit from a spin between the flags. The reappearing Fountain House would ideally prefer a sounder surface.
Expert View Verdict
CON'S ROC was successful on his sole rules start last year and can make light of a long absence here. The form of that race took a boost at Cheltenham in the spring and the selection has run well in a point since. C&D winner Big Interest is feared most arriving fit after a spin in points. He is inconsistent under rules but should be competitive if bringing his best while Bold Fury is also respected. He would ideally want better ground but has proven consistent over hurdles and fences.
