The 10-year-old leapt to the head of ante-post lists for the Aintree spectacular with victory in last month’s Bobbyjo Chase at Fairyhouse, a race his trainer Willie Mullins won with Hedgehunter before he claimed National glory in 2005.

Walsh is bound to have a fine choice of rides on April 9, but Mullins is hopeful he will side with his leading fancy.
