Minella Indo and Senior Chief are both on track to represent Henry De Bromhead in the Randox Grand National on Saturday week.
The former ran a cracker to finish third behind I Am Maximus in the race last season and has had two runs so far this term, at Punchestown in October and a Grade Two hurdle at Navan last month.
Speaking on Wednesday’s Nick Luck Daily Podcast, the trainer said: “He loved it there last year, ran a cracker to finish third and he seems in good form.
"He worked well the other day so we’re happy with him.
“Senior Chief won well at Cheltenham in October, was a bit disappointing in the Coral Gold Cup, but he seems good now and we’ve aimed him at the National so we’ll see."
