in the Grade 1 Nathaniel Lacy & Partners Solicitors Novice Hurdle.

The six-year-old will have to have come on from his maiden hurdle win at Cheltenham on New Year’s Day, but that contest was boosted when runner-up Rock My Way landed a Grade 2 last weekend.

He can give his trainer a first win in Ireland since Baby Run at the 2009 Punchestown festival.

Paul Nicholls will take aim at Sandown’s Grade 1 Virgin Bet Scilly Isles Novices’ Chase with MONMIRAL and this classy sort can strike over fences for the first time.
