Racing: Beef Or Salmon is set to go on a retrieval mission in the Sherry Fitzgerald Hurdle at Fairyhouse on Monday.
Michael Hourigan's 10-year-old unseated Paul Carberry in the Betfair Bowl at Aintree last week to compound the misery of connections after a dismal show in the Cheltenham Gold Cup.
But Hourigan is hoping a spin over smaller obstacles will restore the eight-time Grade One winner's confidence and get him back on track for a tilt at the Punchestown Festival.
"We were a little disappointed with what happened at Liverpool, he just got a bump at the wrong time and he unshipped Paul," said Hourigan.
"The plan is now the two-and-a-half-mile hurdle at Fairyhouse on Monday. He has only won one hurdle race in his career but I think it could be a good confidence boost for him and us.
"He won't be knocked around in the race, he'll win if he's able but it's more about confidence than anything else."
Hourigan is also set to be represented in the Powers Whiskey Irish Grand National by A New Story.
The eight-year-old finished third to the progressive Dun Doire in the Thyestes Chase earlier in the season and Hourigan believes he has a fair chance in the feature event.
"He will definitely run. He's out of the handicap at the moment but he will run, as long as we get in," he said.
"The horse kind of idled half-way through the race in the Thyestes and lost his place but he was a fast-finishing third."
