Cheltenham Festival winner Delta Work is among 11 entries in the Liam & Valerie Florida Pearl Novice Chase at Punchestown on Sunday.

The five-year-old, who landed the Pertemps Handicap Hurdle Final in March, made a successful debut over fences at Down Royal earlier this month.

His trainer Gordon Elliott also has Blow By Blow, who himself struck at the first time of asking facing fences at Galway last month, and Cubomania, who opened his chasing account at Cheltenham’s Showcase fixture.

Elliott said: "We'll just see how things are looking later in the week, but the Florida Pearl would look an obvious race for Delta Work and Blow By Blow.

"Cubomania enjoys decent ground and this looks a good option for him, too. It will probably be Friday before we finalise plans, though."

Willie Mullins can choose from Orion D'Aubrelle and Some Neck, while Henry de Bromhead is two-handed with Judgement Day and Nick Lost.

Mullins could give Relegate her first run over jumps in the Connolly’s Red Mills EBF Auction Maiden Hurdle, for which there were 21 entries.

The five-year-old, winner of the Weatherbys Champion Bumper at Cheltenham, has not been seen since losing her unbeaten record in the Champion INH Flat Race at the Punchestown Festival in April.

Enda Bolger is responsible for four of the 17 entries in the EMS Copiers Risk Of Thunder Chase, with Auvergnat, Josies Orders, Different Spot and My Hometown.

The first two named also hold an engagement in the Glenfarclas Cross Country Handicap Chase at Cheltenham on Friday, while Different Spot is also in at Cork on Sunday.
