Richard Johnson will again have the mount on Florida Pearl when Willie Mullins's star chaser runs in the Powers Gold Label Tote Gold Cup at Fairyhouse next Wednesday.
Johnson rode Florida Pearl for the first time when the nine-year-old won his third Hennessy Cognac Gold Cup at Leopardstown in February.
"Richard will ride and the horse is in good form although we could have done without the six-week break because of the foot-and-mouth crisis," said the Bagnelstown trainer.
Florida Pearl will meet Commanche Court, winner of the equivalent race last year when it was run as the Heineken Gold Cup at Punchestown for trainer Ted Walsh and son Ruby.
Walsh said: "We are taking each day as it comes and Commanche Court is a possibility for the Irish Grand National which he also won last year. However, there is so much uncertainty that we can`t make any firm plans."
