Paul Nolan is content with Discorama's alloted weight for the Randox Grand National and is mulling over going straight to Aintree.
The nine-year-old horse was a gallant seventh in the National last season when carrying 10st 6lb from a mark of 149.
Appearing twice since the National, he began his new campaign with a fifth place at Galway before being beaten just a length by Full Time Score in a Fairyhouse chase last week.
Owners Andrew Gemmell and Thomas Friel were considering Cheltenham but after sorting a place in the National after being allocated 10st 5lb (148) Discorama may swerve Prestbury Park.
"I will speak to Tom and Andrew on the decision whether to go to Aintree and Aintree alone, because if you run in the National, that is your season," said Nolan.
"It's a long-distance race and you'd normally have a rest after it, so that's what the lads are assessing at the moment.
"We'll all have our little piece to say and it will be majority rule."
Last season's seventh was an eye-catching effort at 16-1, but Nolan feels an interrupted run-in for the race wasn't ideal and meant Discorama tiring over the last handful of fences having previously travelled well.
"He got tired, we were hoping for a prep run but because of a little slight injury we couldn't go there. I just think that was the reason for the way he stopped," he said.
"He looked like he was competitive but he had been a little bit keen through the race, which wouldn't have helped over the distance.
"He seemed to take to the fences well and I'm hoping that's the decision we make, to give the lads a good run for their money and get him there in prestige order for the race."
