Fergal O'Brien has his string in excellent form at present and can add to his tally with Ryan's Rocket in the Breed Buy And Race In Ireland Handicap Chase at Market Rasen on Wednesday.
The seven-year-old has already proved another good purchase for the Noel Fehily Racing Syndicate, with the point-to-point graduate having won twice over hurdles and once over fences so far.
Following his successful chase debut at Chepstow in November, Ryan's Rocket was narrowly denied by Here Comes Georgie at Ascot pre-Christmas and he was last seen finishing sixth behind subsequent Cheltenham hero Jagwar on Festival Trials Day at Prestbury Park in late January.
The son of Jet Away travelled well for a long way that day and a slight drop back in distance on a less demanding track looks to be in his favour.
Mistress Emma is expected to give weight and a beating to her rivals in the Eileen Brough Memorial Mares' Handicap Hurdle.
The Worcester bumper winner has had to make do with minor honours on her first two starts over obstacles, but has not lost much in defeat on either occasion.
She was narrowly denied by King Califet on her hurdling bow at Newbury and may have fared better than third at Warwick last time but for a final-flight error.
Making her handicap debut off a mark of 103, Nicky Henderson's charge is open to further progress and could prove well treated.
Alexandra Larose appears well placed to complete her hat-trick in the opening race at Hereford.
The five-year-old did not show a great deal in her first three outings over hurdles, but that allowed her to enter the handicap arena off a mark of 83 in the new year and she has quickly found her feet, with a narrow defeat at Leicester followed by clear-cut victories at Huntingdon and Southwell.
She carries a 7lb penalty for her latest triumph little over a week ago, which might not be enough to stop her adding the Hereford Bull Trail 2025 Conditional Jockeys' Mares' Handicap Hurdle to her CV.
The David Dennis-trained Time Interval can notch a second course and distance win in the Two Farmers 0.0 Cider Novices' Handicap Hurdle.
A four-time Flat winner, the seven-year-old opened his account over obstacles at this track last May and should be sharper for his return to the jumping game when fourth here earlier in the month.
A 2lb drop in the weights can only help and a bold bid looks assured.
Evening all-weather fare comes from Kempton, where Roi De France is the pick in the Unibet More Extra Place Races Handicap.
Disappointing as a leading fancy for the Cambridgeshire in the autumn, the Sea The Stars colt bounced back with a first win on artificial surfaces here next time before finding the high-class Poker Face too hot to handle in the Listed Hyde Stakes in early December.
With Poker Face having since won a Group Two and finished second in a Group One in Dubai, Roi De France's performance in being beaten just 1.5-lengths looks very solid and a 4lb rise to a mark of 104 for his return to handicap company looks more than fair. - Press Association
