Load could go straight to Cheltenham

Henry de Bromhead is targeting Loosen My Load at the new two-and-a-half-mile novice chase at Cheltenham following his run at Leopardstown two weeks ago.

The Co Waterford trainer may send the seven-year-old straight to the Festival now after being delighted with his performance in finishing fourth to Realt Dubh in the Bord na Mona With Nature Novice Chase.
