Punchestown - sprinter sacre appearance?

"I'd think it might be a good idea. We've discussed it at length this week. We haven't said definitely it's what we are going to do. We were thinking of Punchestown and there's also the Celebration Chase at Sandown on the final day (of the season). So we have got three options.

"You'd imagine he would only take up one, but he may do two. He's only had three races this season and you'd have to conclude, without being too complacent, that he hasn't had too many hard races. Therefore we would like to appear again.

"He looks great. His coat was fantastic going into Cheltenham. We've still got another fortnight to go before Aintree and we'll monitor it but our thoughts at the moment are leaning towards that (Aintree)."

Looking doubtful now. It's a pity. Looks like Long Run could be coming over. Has its doubters but looking forward to seeing him
