Roberto Goldback looks set to run in the John Smith's Grand National following his run at Leopardstown yesterday.

Dessie Hughes' charge finished strongly when second behind Quel Esprit in the Hennessy Gold Cup and the Aintree showpiece and Punchestown Guinness Gold Cup are now his main targets.

"He ran a very good race. He's fine and he'll probably run in the English National now, or he'll go back to Punchestown for the Gold Cup there. He unseated his rider at the last, last year when he was going to win," the County Kildare handler said.
