The year of the comeback?

Pont Alexandre stung me too, but there isn't another horse in training that I've been more keen to see get back.

Let's hope that he gets a decent run into him shortly.

I think we had him as the 2016 gold cup winner on an old thread - I wonder if he is ground dependant even if back to best which seems theme of the season

It would be good if Dan Skelton could get al ferof back into contention for king George....another horse coming back after breathing issues. Shaping up to be a cracking race.

The long-absent Pont Alexandre could make his chasing debut at Gowran Park on Saturday.

The seven-year-old French recruit was hugely impressive on his first two starts for Willie Mullins two seasons ago and was sent off a hot favourite for the Neptune Investment Management Novices' Hurdle at the 2013 Cheltenham Festival.

He had to make do with minor honours, finishing third behind The New One, and has been sidelined by injury since then.

Pont Alexandre could, however, now make his comeback in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Beginners Chase.

Mullins said: "Pont Alexandre is entered at Gowran Park on Saturday.

"We have a number of entries and will decide later in the week.

"He's in good form and has schooled well."

And another

O'Faolains Boy entered in Betfair Chase.

took a while longer but he is back too

took a while longer but he is back too

That has to go down as some performance today, the runner up won a big pot and beat a decent field at the P Power meeting and was rated 150 for today, the winner came well clear and could easily enter the Gold Cup reckoning on the strength of todays effort....

Well done to the cue carders
