The Paul Nicholls-trained 12-year-old, winner of the 1999 Tote Cheltenham Gold Cup, will be bidding to take Chepstow’s three-mile showpiece for the third time after victories in 1997 and 1998.
Barry Simpson, racing manager to part-owner Sir Robert Ogden, confirmed yesterday: ‘‘I have not spoken to Paul yet but the intention is to run him.’’
