Several of these have had enough chances but the aptly-named EASTER HUNT is handed the vote. Mouse Morris' charge looked like winning at Cork last time but ran out of steam close home on the very heavy ground - today's conditions can help him get home. Emperor Of Exmoor followed two close efforts over 2m4f with a very narrow defeat by Baby King over this trip at Navan and is another who should be suited by the quicker ground. Rock The World had looked a certain future winner when runner-up in a huge field at Navan in December but disappointed the following month at Leopardstown. Tawseef ran his best race to date behind the odds-on Moonlight Boy at Limerick last time and looks the main threat.
