Ferdy Murphy has his eyes on two of the big end-of-season staying handicap chases for Poker De Sivola and Galant Nuit.
Poker De Sivola is on course for the Coral Scottish Grand National at Ayr on April 17 after his victory in the National Hunt Chase at Cheltenham.
Galant Nuit put himself in the frame for the bet365 Gold Cup at Sandown the following Saturday thanks to finishing third in the Kim Muir, also at the Festival.
"Poker De Sivola will go for the Scottish National and Galant Nuit will go for the bet365 at Sandown. If we got a bit of ease in the ground that would be ideal for him (Galant Nuit)"
"The Scottish National would give us a little bit more time with Poker De Sivola. At the moment he's come out of the race great.
"He's gone up 11lb in the handicap so he's sure to get into the Scottish National, so we'll probably go that way."
