Arthur Moore's Sea Beat looks to get his season back on track in the ultra-competitive BoyleSports Handicap Hurdle at Leopardstown.
Following a pleasing return to action on the level at Galway in October, the five-year-old was sent to Ascot for a tilt at The Ladbroke last month, but failed to get competitive as Gordon Elliott's fellow raider Bayan took the glory.
Moore feels his charge is better than he showed in Berkshire and is hopeful he will perform better back on home turf this weekend.
"He's been in good form since Ascot, where things just didn't go right for him," said Moore.
"We're hoping for a good run and he's had a good preparation.
"It's a competitive race and he's a young horse. We'll be a lot wiser about his potential after Sunday and a first four finish would be great."
