Dessie Hughes may give his two John Smith’s Grand National entries, Vic Venturi and In Compliance, another outing before the big day at Aintree in April following encouraging efforts this week.

IN COMPLIANCE, having his first run since December of 2007, made a stunning return in the Thurles Chase at Thurles yesterday.

IN Compliance is likely to make his comeback after nearly two years off the track at Thurles next month.

Cheltenham Gold Cup third Forget The Past is on the road to recovery after suffering from a back problem.

In Compliance trumped Cheltenham Gold Cup hero War Of Attrition to run out an impressive winner of the John Durkan Memorial Punchestown Chase.
