Paul Nolan is hoping for drier conditions to allow him to give Cloone River a much-needed prep run on the Flat before the Punchestown Festival.

The 11-year-old has been out of action since taking a nasty tumble at the third-last flight in the Guinness Hurdle at Galway in July 2005, a race he had won 12 months earlier.
