Cregg House, who ran a cracking race when second to Royal Auclair at Cheltenham, looks set to tackle the Powers Gold Label Irish Grand National at Fairyhouse next Monday.

Paddy Mullins' seven-year-old was an unconsidered 33 to 1 chance for the Cathcart Challenge Cup at the festival but was only beaten 1¾ lengths by Martin Pipe's heavily-backed favourite.

He has been raised 22lb by senior Irish jumps handicapper Noel O'Brien as a result of that effort. Cregg House has been allotted 9st 8lb for the Easter Monday highlight.
