Switch From Diesel is set for a pipe-opener on the level at the Curragh on Sunday.

The winner of three bumpers and second at the highest level when last seen at Punchestown in April, the classy Ross O'Sullivan-trained six-year-old will belatedly start off over flights in the coming weeks.

Flat Run to Precede Hurdling Debut

Speaking at Galway on Monday, O'Sullivan said: "She is in great form and will have a run in a Flat maiden over a mile-and-a-half at the Curragh on Sunday.

"We're very happy with her and the run on the Flat should be a nice stepping stone to go jumping.

"She took a little time when she came back in to get the hang of jumping but has started to really enjoy it in the last couple of weeks.

"We're very happy with her and after Sunday, she could start off over hurdles in three weeks."
