Boss Doyle will take on Limestone Lad and Dorans Pride in the McCabe Builders Ltd Boyne Hurdle at Navan on Sunday.
The gelding, who will be ridden by Charlie Swan, won last time out at Leopardstown and trainer Mouse Morris said today: "Boss Doyle runs on Sunday but doesn't go to Cheltenham.
"His big race target will probably be the three-mile hurdle at Aintree in April. He's in great form at the moment and I am hopeful for a big run on Sunday."
Winner of the Mumm Mildmay Novices' Chase at Aintree in 1998, Boss Doyle has been brought back to hurdling after losing his way over fences.
