Prince ready to make mark, says Nolan

NOBLE PRINCE will bid to maintain his unbeaten record over fences in the Craddockstown Novice Chase at Punchestown on Sunday.

Paul Nolan’s six-year-old eased to victory over Sunday’s course and distance at the end of October and while he is stepping up in class to Grade Two level, his trainer is hopeful he can make his presence felt.

“He’s on course to run on Saturday and we’re looking forward to it,” said Nolan.
