The Colm Murphy trained Zanoosh looks set to bypass next weeks Cheltenham Festival in favour of a target closer to home.

A progressive mare this season, the six-year-old has won her last three starts, including a Listed contest at Navan on her most recent outing.

Murphy said: "She will probably go to Limerick (Grade 3 on Thursday of Cheltenham week), I'd say. Looking more likely to Limerick (than Cheltenham).

"She's good and we are happy away with her, she's tipping away so, all going well, she will go there."

Zanoosh currently holds an Albert Bartlett entry and, is a 33/1 chance for that race.
