The long-absent Pont Alexandre could make his chasing debut at Gowran Park on Saturday.

The seven-year-old French recruit was hugely impressive on his first two starts for Willie Mullins two seasons ago and was sent off a hot favourite for the Neptune Investment Management Novices' Hurdle at the 2013 Cheltenham Festival.

He had to make do with minor honours, finishing third behind The New One, and has been sidelined by injury since then.

Pont Alexandre could, however, now make his comeback in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Beginners Chase.

Mullins said: "Pont Alexandre is entered at Gowran Park on Saturday.

"We have a number of entries and will decide later in the week.

"He's in good form and has schooled well."

That has to go down as some performance today, the runner up won a big pot and beat a decent field at the P Power meeting and was rated 150 for today, the winner came well clear and could easily enter the Gold Cup reckoning on the strength of todays effort....
 
Well done to the cue carders

GoodLuck BoF.
 
Congrats BOF.
Nicked a little of the 11/4 but only played small (got worried about the drift), thanks for the updates and good luck with whatever plans you have for the future with the horse
 
Well done bof. Money pit no more.
 
A great read BoF. I'll be watching with interest tomorrow, good luck!
 
There was a little 6s around last night but that appers to have disappeared this morning, I've nicked some 9/2 which looks to be the best price.....
 
Just grabbed some 9/2 with laddies. Good luck
 
7/2 now there's only 5.
I actually think 7/2 e/w is better value with 5 going to post than 9/2 with 6 runners, there are only two places that pay so I'd much rather take the shorter price and remove a runner.
I also got some 1.75 three places on the fair but the rule 4 now makes that about a 1.40 shot
 
Thanks for the support guys and sorry for the poor performance; he just did't pick up the it and was looking after himself the whole way around. I am concerned the ulcers have flared up again and he is being tested today - will let you know. Maybe 2017 will be another year of the comeback!
