Some Plan bids to bounce back at Cheltenham Henry de Bromhead sends last season's Irish Arkle hero Some Plan into battle for the Randox Health Handicap Chase at Cheltenham on Saturday. The nine-year-old needs to bounce back from an abject display on his reappearance at Limerick earlier this month. "I hope that the return to two miles will suit. He was very disappointing and didn't seem to stay the last day," said the Co Waterford trainer. "He was kept busy last season and had a great first half, winning three races and then just seemed to peter out. "He has beaten some very good chasers and is a fair horse on his day." De Bromhead's On Fiddlers Green, who was a well-beaten eighth in the Munster National at Limerick on his latest appearance, goes in the three-mile-one-furlong randoxhealth.com Handicap Chase De Bromhead said: "The soft going probably went against On Fiddlers Green in the Munster National, so I am hoping the better ground will suit and that he can run a good race." Singlefarmpayment makes his first appearance since his agonising defeat at last season's Festival. The Tom George-trained seven-year-old is a dual winner at Cheltenham and came mighty close to claiming a third victory when beaten just a short head by Un Temps Pour Tout in the Ultima Handicap Chase back in March. George said: "He came back from his summer break looking good and we are happy with him at the moment. "We said we will take each step as it comes this season, depending on how the horse is, and see where we go. "He progressed well last season and it will be interesting to see if he can carry that on this season." With last season's star juvenile Defi Du Seuil not taking up his engagement, four horses contest the Masterson Holdings Hurdle. Dan Skelton's Bedrock sets the standard on ratings ahead of De Bromhead's Twobeelucky, who won his first two jumping starts before chasing home Le Richebourg at Galway. De Bromhead said: "I think that this will be Twobeelucky's final run before he goes off for a break. "We are up against it on the ratings, but we said that we would give it a go and see how we get on."
