National hero may resume at Cheltenham

Grand National winner Comply Or Die could make his seasonal reappearance in the Servo Computer Services Handicap Chase at Cheltenham's Paddy Power meeting this weekend.

David Pipe is considering giving the Aintree hero his first run of the campaign in the stamina-sapping contest, with the nine-year-old having been rested since his success in the John Smith's-sponsored showpiece in April.

Pipe said: 'He gave us an amazing day at Aintree and it still hasn't really sunk in yet. He came out of the race in great fashion, is cantering daily and is in great form.

'He is in on Saturday and we will have a look at the entries and decide if he runs. If he doesn't go there then he will go to the Hennessy - but it is unlikely he will run in both races.

"He is now rated 154 so life could be tougher this year, but in his novice season he was second to Trabolgan in the Royal & SunAlliance Chase so he is a quality horse and doesn't have many miles on the clock. Long term the National is the aim again.'
