CON'S ROC looks a serious prospect having bolted up by 17 lengths at Fairyhouse last month, jumping well and clearing away impressively. This exciting young chaser can cement his status as a rising star in the hunter chase division. Its On The Line, a course and distance winner with an excellent record, remains the main danger, while Willitgoahead's Cheltenham Festival form gives him solid claims.
