Elsewhere, there is high-class racing across the weekend which sees the return of Gold Cup hero Minella Indo who is set for his seasonal reappearance in the Ladbrokes Champion Chase at Down Royal, with trainer Henry de Bromhead revealing during the week that Jack Kennedy will retain the ride on the eight-year-old.

Russell will have plenty of big rides for Gordon Elliot who has been very busy at the sales in recent times.
