“All going well he’ll be at Aintree,” said Bolger.
On The Fringe (left) was beaten at Cheltenham last weekPA
“He came back safe and sound which is the main thing, maybe the ground was a little quick for him at Cheltenham.

“He does love Aintree, he seems to come alive over those fences so hopefully that is in our favour.

Cheltenham winner Pacha Du Polder will aim to follow up for Paul Nicholls while Balnaslow, who was prominent throughout, is another in the mix.
Persian Snow, Grand Vision, Big Fella Thanks and Black Thunder are other notable entries.
