Joseph O'Brien reports Edwulf perfectly well following his run in the Timico Cheltenham Gold Cup on Friday.

The nine-year-old returned to the home of jumps racing just 12 months after collapsing in the closing stages of the JT McNamara National Hunt Chase.

Though there was no second fairytale story after his remarkable victory in the Irish Gold Cup at Leopardstown last month, Edwulf did not disgrace himself back at Cheltenham when eighth behind Native River.

"He's 100 per cent, he's very good," O'Brien said of the JP McManus-owned gelding.

"He ran a good race. Things maybe didn't fall exactly right for him, but other than that he was good."

Connections have not yet given any thought as to where or when Edwulf will run next.

"No plans yet. It's too early to say where we are going to go with him," said the County Kilkenny trainer.

"He's fine after the Gold Cup, and that's the main thing."
