Paul Nolan certainly contributed to the Irish success in Cheltenham last week when his Daily Present won the Kim Muir by a neck and the trainer is eyeing a crack at the Irish Grand National in Fairyhouse next.

He said: "Daily Present is good and he'll get an entry in the Irish National now, that's the next plan.

“He hasn't raced much this season and I'm just delighted that he did what he did in Cheltenham."

Feet Of A Dancer finished fourth in the Pertemps at Prestbury Park for Nolan and the six-year-old mare, who has been in a consistent vein of form, could be set for a bit of time off.

The trainer added: "Feet Of A Dancer is good too, she ran a blinder and you'd probably have to say she was a bit unlucky. 

"She got a bit light on us over in Cheltenham and we probably won't go to the well too soon with her.

“I'd love to get a bit of easy ground for her, but we'll see what's coming up and make a plan for her."
