Accordion Etoile could take his chance in the John Smith's Maghull Novices' Chase at Aintree following his Cheltenham festival spill last week.

Paul Nolan's seven-year-old came to grief at the eighth fence in the Arkle Trophy Chase but the Co Wexford handler thought the fall looked worse than it actually was.

Nolan is now considering targets at Aintree and Punchestown for his stable star, who is in good form after his tumble. "We were all afraid when we saw the fall but he's absolutely fine and there is not a hair out of place," said Nolan.

"We haven't made our minds up with regards to the rest of the season yet, it all depends on the ground.

"We'd have to have Aintree in mind if it came up good because if we decided to wait for Punchestown, you don't know how the ground would come up.

"Last year at Aintree he had gone over the top as we had to rush his preparation for the Champion Hurdle to get him right which took a lot out of him but that won't be the case this year."
