Valsuer Lido On Course For Irish Gold Cup Henry de Bromhead is planning a return to Leopardstown in February with Valseur Lido. The eight-year-old ran a fine race on Thursday when fifth to Road To Respect in the Leopardstown Christmas Chase on what was his first outing since finishing fourth in the same race to Outlander 12 months ago. The County Waterford-based trainer said: "He ran well. For his first run back of the year, I thought it was a nice run. "He seems good and I'm happy with him. Hopefully we'll see him back here for the new festival (Irish Gold Cup)." Valseur Lido was having his third start for De Bromhead, having come up trumps on his first run after leaving Willie Mullins when winning last season's JNwine.com Champion Chase at Down Royal. De Bromhead is also aiming Petite Mouchoir for the same Leopardstown weekend in February. The trainer said: De Bromhead said: "Petit Mouchoir is good and he is hacking away at the moment. "We are still aiming him towards the Irish Arkle on February 3. "We've certainly not forgotten about him and we are working away at home with him. "We are very happy with where we are."
