FORPADYDEPLASTERER has one last chance to get a win on the board this season in tomorrow’s Boylesports.com Champion Chase on the opening day of the Punchestown Festival.

TOM COOPER feels two and a half miles on a flat track in today’s John Smith’s Melling Chase at Aintree will be ideal for Forpadydeplasterer, who was runner-up to Big Zeb in the Queen Mother Champion Chase.

FORPADYDEPLASTERER moved a step closer to lining up in the Queen Mother Champion Chase after coming through a workout on the Curragh yesterday with flying colours.

Forpadydeplaster relished a return to two miles in the Irish Independent Arkle Trophy to hold off Kalahari King in a thrilling finish at Cheltenham today.

FORPADYDEPLASTERER has run his last race of the season and will embark upon a novice chase campaign next year.

RIVER LIANE is reported to be in rude health after his easy victory at Leopardstown on Sunday.
