Trainer Alan Fleming is looking forward to seeing Golantilla make his first competitive appearance since last summer in the Naas Directors Plate Novice Chase on Sunday.
Third in the 2013 Champion Bumper, when trained by Tony Martin, the Barry Connell-owned eight-year-old made a successful debut for his new handler on his fencing bow at Killarney last August.
He steps up to Grade Three level on his long-awaited return to action, with Fleming keen to find out whether he is up to a crack at the Ryanair Gold Cup at Fairyhouse on Easter Sunday.
"He's in good old nick," said the Curragh-based trainer.
"It'll be his first run in a good while, but we think we have him pretty straight. We're happy with his fitness.
"Hopefully he'll jump round and give a good account of himself and come back safe and sound.
"The plan is to go for the Ryanair Gold Cup in Fairyhouse, which is three weeks away, so hopefully this run will put him right for that."
Mouse Morris is hopeful Rule The World can finally open his account over fences, having filled the runner-up spot seven times from 12 attempts.
The nine-year-old chased home RSA Chase favourite No More Heroes at Leopardstown over Christmas and was last seen finishing fifth in the Thyestes Chase at Gowran Park.
Morris said: "We've had a fair bit of snow here and I'm just hoping it's on.
"The horse is in good form and it would look a good opportunity for him, so we'll keep our fingers crossed."
Rule The World holds three entries at the Cheltenham Festival later this month, but is unlikely to make the journey to Prestbury Park.
"If he runs on Sunday he won't be going to Cheltenham, I don't think," said Morris.
The Willie Mullins-trained Tell Us More is on a recovery mission after falling at the second-last when looking likely to claim the Flyingbolt Novice Chase at Navan last month.
With Gigginstown House Stud's retained rider Bryan Cooper preferring Rule The World, Ruby Walsh comes in for the ride on Tell Us More.
Patrick Mullins, the champion trainer's son and assistant, said: "We knew going to Navan that he jumped a little to the left, so we thought going left-handed would be a help to him.
"It did help, in terms of performance, as it looked like he was going to run out an impressive winner, but unfortunately he ended up falling.
"He seems fine since and hopefully he can bounce back.
"He has an awful lot of ability, but he has been a frustrating horse."
Gigginstown have a third representative in the form of Sub Lieutenant from the Sandra Hughes stable.
Arctic Skipper, Finea and Montys Meadow complete the seven-strong field.
