John Ferguson has revealed that New Year's Eve, who finished a close second when sent off favourite for the Champion Bumper at last month's Cheltenham Festival, could line up in the Grade One betchronicle.com Champion INH Flat Race at Punchestown on Wednesday, April 25.
"New Year's Eve has been very well since Cheltenham and he could run at Punchestown in the betchronicle.com Champion INH Flat Race," said Ferguson.
"He ran very well at Cheltenham and I'm looking forward to him running again. He was a four-year-old running against older horses and time will tell whether or not Punchestown suits him better than Cheltenham."
New Year's Eve headed to Cheltenham on the back of hugely-impressive bumper victories on his previous two outings at Ludlow and Market Rasen.
Entries for the betchronicle.com Champion INH Flat Race close at the six-day stage on Thursday, April 19, and other possible starters include the Willie Mullins-trained Pique Sous, who finished a head behind New Year's Eve at Cheltenham.
