Trainer Terence O'Brien is hoping Farrells Fancy can book his place in the Paddy Power Gold Cup at Cheltenham next month with a positive showing at Cork on Sunday.

The nine-year-old landed the valuable Leopardstown Handicap Chase in January and that proved to be his final start of the campaign.

He ran well for a long way before tiring on his return to action at Listowel last month and O'Brien is hopeful of an improved display from his charge in the featured €50,000 Cork Racecourse Kinsale Handicap Chase.

O'Brien said: "We might have a tilt at the Paddy Power in Cheltenham. He should get in."

Farrells Fancy features in a 12-runner field on Sunday, with Pires, Cause Of Causes, Dick Dundee and Run With The WInd all in the line-up.
