O'Brien expects Landofhopeandglory to go for gold in the JCB Triumph
Hurdle at next month's Cheltenham Festival.
The four-year-old also has entries in
the Fred Winter, the Supreme Novices' Hurdle and the Neptune.
However, after finishing third behind
Dinaria Des Obeaux in a Grade Three event at Fairyhouse on Saturday, O'Brien
believes the Triumph on March 17 is the most likely option.
He said: "Landofhopeandglory ran
well as he hadn't run for two months and it was heavy ground. I was happy with
him. More than likely he will go for the Triumph rather than the Fred Winter.
He seems OK and hopefully he will be OK during the week.
