Limestone Lad could bid for his 36th career win in the Proudstown Handicap Hurdle at Navan on Saturday.
James Bowe`s charge has 22 possible rivals in the two and a half miles Listed event, but the field is sure to cut badly if the popular gelding lines out as he his presence would leave every other horse well out of the handicap proper.
The three miles Galmoy Hurdle at Gowran Park (January 23) and the Bank of Ireland Hurdle at Naas two days later are other possible targets.
