Teaforthree may have been touched off by Restless Harry (4-1) in the Weatherby's Hamilton Insurance Chase at Ascot but afterwards all the talk was about Aintree for last season's Welsh National runner-up.

The Rebecca Curtis-trained 10-year-old was beaten a neck in the three-mile Listed event after a titanic duel over the final three fences, but Noel Fehily's mount was immediately slashed in price for the Crabbie's Grand National, a race in which he finished third last season.

Ballycasey's blip when falling in a schooling session after racing at Leopardstown has not unduly concerned Willie Mullins ahead of the RSA Chase at Cheltenham today.

The seven-year-old has remained ante-post favourite for the three-mile novice championship mainly on the strength of his victory over Don Cossack, who renews rivalry, in the Dr. P.J. Moriarty Novice Chase, also at Leopardstown, a month ago.
