JPR One looks set for a busy end to the campaign following his fine fourth in the Ryanair Chase which saw him lead for most of the way, with the Melling Chase at Aintree in mind before a potential trip across the Irish Sea for the Punchestown Festival.

"It was a really solid run, he ran as well as we hoped he'd run because he got them all rattled a little bit," said Tizzard. "He will go to Aintree, two and a half (miles) around there should be fine for him, it was only when he was at the second-last that the hill took its toll. I'm looking forward to running him at Aintree.
