Adrian Maguire will firm up his plans for the Foxhunter Chase after one of his potential challengers runs at Bandon point-to-point next Sunday.
The Mallow handler looks to have two live hopes for the Cheltenham contest in Two Rockers and Seventh Sign
Both horses are owned by Masterson Holdings Partnership and the pair were formerly smart hurdles for Alan King.
Two Rockers was denied a four-timer in point-to-points this season when unshipping his rider at the last at Dungarvan last month.
His missed an intended engagement at Fairyhouse last Saturday due to a stone-bruise but is reported to be none the worse for that.
Seventh Sign has also landed three point-to-points this campaign and chased home Prince De Beauchene at Thurles last month.
"One of them will hopefully run at Bandon next Sunday and they'll both get an entry in the Foxhunters," said Maguire.
"We'll see how it goes next Sunday. I'd say both look to have equal chances."
