Barry Geraghty will take the ride on Poquelin in the totescoop6 Old Roan Chase at Aintree on Saturday.
The jockey partnered Nicky Richards' popular grey Monet's Garden to success in the race 12 months ago and the Greystoke handler had been hoping to secure his services again.
But Poquelin's owner Andy Stewart has revealed Geraghty will get the leg up on his Paul Nicholls-trained gelding as he bids to get the better of Albertas Run, who beat him at both Cheltenham and at Aintree in the spring.
"He's going to run this weekend and Barry Geraghty has been booked to take the ride," said Stewart.
