VIVA ARDANZA ran well in a decent hunter at Down Royal over Christmas. He's also performed well in a couple of points since and can make a successful return to Rules under Barry O'Neill. Gorthill was runner-up in this 12 months ago and, fit from points, can make his presence felt again. Ontheropes may prove best of the remainder.
