BOBBYJO PLANS HINGE ON WEATHER

Martell Grand National winner Bobbyjo could be back in action at the weekend weather permitting, it emerged today.

Tommy Carberry has entered the 10-year-old in the Red Mills Trial Chase at Gowran Park on Saturday and the Nobber Handicap Chase at Navan the following afternoon.

"We'll just have to have a look at the Gowran race," Carberry said. "He's in at Navan on Sunday as well. We'll wait and see what the ground is like - he wants good ground - but the way it is raining here at the moment it looks unlikely he'll run in either."

Bobbyjo, who reappeared over hurdles at Fairyhouse last month, could revert to the smaller obstacles.

"If he doesn't go at the weekend there are a couple of hurdle races I have in mind for him," said Carberry.

The trainer is satisfied so far with Bobbyjo's preparation for another tilt at the Aintree marathon.

He said: "He's grand - no problems. He's coming along nicely but won't come over to Britain before the National."
