Cheltenham the ultimate target for Boy

Cheltenham Festival runner-up Carsonstown Boy is limbering up for his return to action.
The Colin McBratney-trained 10-year-old was sent off a relatively unconsidered 40-1 chance for the CGA Foxhunter Chase in March, but defied his odds in running a fine second to the classy Tammys Hill.
All roads are likely to head to Cheltenham again in the hope of going one better.
McBratney said: "He's about three weeks away from a run and is in good form.
"We'll look at a point-to-point in Northern Ireland and then, hopefully, he'll go for the race he won at Thurles last year.
"After that it will be all about Cheltenham again.
"It was a great day last year, but I'd say he'll be a better horse this season."
