Nick Dundee was this morning reported in good form following his comeback win at Navan on Saturday.
The Edward O`Grady-trained eight-year-old had been off the course for 633 days after suffering a serious leg injury when falling in the Royal & SunAlliance Chase at the 1999 Cheltenham Festival.
The gelding sustained a dislocation of the near-hind fetlock joint and a ruptured ligament on the outside of the joint and his racing career looked over.
However, he returned to action with a seven-length success in the hands of amateur Philip Fenton over stablemate Nicholls Cross in the Racing To Please You Chase.
'He`s absolutely fine this morning,' O`Grady said. 'I was very satisfied with his performance yesterday.'
The Tipperary trainer is not looking beyond Leopardstown`s Christmas Festival for Nick Dundee, who only returned to his yard in late summer.
He said: 'It`s a good possibility that he`ll go for the Ericsson Chase at Leopardstown later this month.
'NormanWilliamson will be back on board.'
O`Grady was also on the mark with Go Roger Go in the Tripleprint Gold Cup at Cheltenham.
Go Roger Go, ridden by Williamson, held on by a neck from Robbo to land the #46,400 first prize.
'The post came just in time for him,' commented O`Grady. 'It was a good performance by horse and jockey.'
There are no immediate plans for Go Roger Go.
'He`s in the Paddy Power over Christmas but he isn`t back from Cheltenham yet and I`ll have to see how he is first before deciding what to do.'
