All eyes will be on Punchestown this Sunday after Henry de Bromhead said Bob Olinger is on course for the Grade 3 Kildare Novice Chasie (2.20) – his first appearance since winning on his chasing debut at Gowran in November. Bob Olinger's possible main dangers include Capodanno, who made an impressive chasing debut for Willie Mullins and JP McManus at Naas last month, Grade 1-winning novice hurdler Gaillard Du Mesnil.

Defi Du Seuil will make another attempt to get back on track in the Coral Silviniaco Conti Chase at Kempton on Saturday. “The plan is to go to Kempton. (We’re) not sure if he badly needed his run at Ascot. Philip thought he was in good order,” said McManus’ racing manager Frank Berry. “We’ll see how he gets on on Saturday and see where we go after that. He needs to get to somewhere near where he was. Philip seems happy with him, but he was quite happy before he went the last day. Whether he got tired on his first run back or what, we’ll know more after Saturday.”
