Because on course for Paddy Power again Becauseicouldntsee will aim to go one better in this year's Paddy Power Chase at Leopardstown on December 27. The eight-year-old beat all bar Dermot Weld's Majestic Concorde 12 months ago and has once again been aimed at the valuable pot. His ultimate destination is Aintree for the Grand National in which he was quietly fancied last season only to fall at the second. His two runs this term have been over an inadequate trip. "It's all systems go for Becauseicouldntsee in the Paddy Power Chase and he'll definitely run barring a setback between now and then," said trainer Noel Glynn. "The last race brought him on a bit and he needs four miles really! He's not fast enough for two and requires three miles plus. "It doesn't really bother me that he's 6lb higher than last year. He's a very big horse, 17.1 hands, who can carry weight and I'm not worried about what he has to carry. He'll be fine. "The Paddy Power is a very competitive race and I'm going there hopeful but there could be 10 horses coming to the last together! It's that sort of contest but it's a fantastic pot and I'm hoping for the best. "The Grand National is definitely a target but he got an injury in last year's Paddy Power Chase. He had an operation and was then standing in his box for four weeks which was not ideal. "He didn't touch the fence at Aintree - it was just exuberance and he was too keen as I couldn't get a run into him and next year, hopefully, he will have an ideal preparation." Becauseicouldntsee has been put in as a 16-1 chance by the sponsors behind Willie Mullins' 9-1 favourite On His Own.
