Willie Mullins is considering the Grade Three Bobbyjo Chase on Saturday before heading to the Cheltenham Festival as preparations continue for Aintree's April 5 highlight.

"I've entered him in a few races but I think with the way things are going we might run in the Bobbyjo Chase next Saturday at Fairyhouse," he told At The Races.

"Obviously that would be his last run before Cheltenham.

"I might have an option or two at home in Ireland in the next couple of weeks but I want to try to keep him fresh for Aintree."
