Trainer Noel Kelly is to aim Cave Court at the Albert Bartlett Triple Crown Series at the Punchestown festival later this season, with the eight-year-old also likely to run over fences before then.

Six-time winner Cave Court claimed his fourth hurdle success when landing a Series Qualifier at Naas in January and, with a rating of 128, will line up in the €100,000 final on April 29.

Co Derry-based Kelly commented "Cave Court is definitely going to go for the final in Punchestown. We'll probably run him over chases not to spoil his mark too much.

"He's a lovely horse and has won six for us. He has come back to himself after being brought down at Down Royal - some horses take longer than others.

"We are all going there for the day out and the day's craic - the boys (TSM Racing Syndicate) have booked their hotels already.”
