Diesel D'Allier is far from running on empty after his Cheltenham Festival exertions and his trainer Richard Bandey is contemplating a cross-country run at the Punchestown Festival.
Despite the domination of the Irish contigent led by Gordon Elliott's Delta Work and Tiger Roll, Diesel D'Allier led the Brits home with a solid fourth place on difficult ground.
"He ran an absolute cracker. Everybody was over the moon to be in the unsaddling enclosure. He's been out in the field ever since," said Bandey.
"He was a little bit tired a couple of days after the race, but all is good. He put it all in on that ground. It was a fantastic run, very pleased with him.
"There's an option we may go to Punchestown. Other than that, if we didn't take that on, he'll have an early summer holiday and come back for (Cheltenham in) November. We might look at going to Ireland. He likes those races and if we don't do it now, we won't do it next year. I'm up for considering it."
Meanwhile, Bandey is swerving the the Coral Scottish Grand National with Mister Malarky and instead will consider either Aintree on Grand National day or Cheltenham next month.
Mister Malarky was transferred from Colin Tizzard and the move worked out well with a creditable second in the Grimthorpe Chase at Doncaster on March 5.
"He's fine and back in full work. I'm very happy with him. We'll look at Aintree and Cheltenham a few days later for him," said the Hampshire handler.
"We were really happy with that run in the Grimthorpe and I want to keep him in a positive frame of mind going forward. For me that's more important than the prize money or the temptation to go in a really big race."
Although carrying a small string, the Hampshire trainer looks one to watch with Diesel D'Allier the crowd favourite.
