The long-absent Min could make his eagerly-awaited return to action at Gowran Park on Saturday.

The Willie Mullins-trained six-year-old found only Altior too strong in the Supreme Novices' Hurdle at the 2016 Cheltenham Festival and made a fine start to his career over fences with impressive displays at Navan and Leopardstown last season.

However, his campaign was curtailed by injury and he will be making his first competitive appearance since last December if he contests this weekend's Ladbrokes Bet 10 & Get 40 On The Grid Chase.

Mullins has also entered new recruit Acapella Bourgeois, Childrens List and Shaneshill in the two-and-a-half-mile conditions event.

Other contenders include Tony Martin's Anibale Fly, as well as Diamond King and Flaxen Flare from Gordon Elliott's yard.

Mullins could unleash high-class bumper performer Carter McKay over jumps in the I.N.H. Stallion Owners EBF Maiden Hurdle, while Elliott's three-strong team includes Minellafordollars.

Noel Meade's Red Jack is the star name in contention for the Join Gowran Park Racing Club Novice Hurdle, while C'est Jersey and Battleford - first and second for Mullins in a hurdle race at last season's Punchestown Festival - could kick off their careers over fences in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Beginners Chase.
