CONNECTIONS of Anibale Fly are likely to make a decision in the next few days as to whether the Cheltenham Gold Cup third will return to England for the Randox Health Grand National or stay nearer home for the Irish equivalent.

Frank Berry, racing manager to owner J.P. McManus, has confirmed the Tony Martin-trained eight-year-old is on course for either the Aintree showpiece on April 14th or the BoyleSports Irish Grand National at Fairyhouse on Easter Monday (April 2th).

"He's come out of the Gold Cup very well. He ran very well and stayed on nicely," said Berry.

"We'll see how he is and we'll make a decision early in the week here where he's going.

"He has the two options and he'll definitely go for one or the other."
