Racing - Aintree:Nigel Twiston-Davies has confirmed he plans to take new Cheltenham Gold Cup champion Imperial Commander to Aintree for the totesport Bowl on Thursday week.
The nine-year-old emerged out from the shadow of Kauto Star and Denman on Friday to enhance his already brilliant record at Prestbury Park.
And as he finished third to Chief Dan George in the Grade One Sefton Novices' Hurdle in 2007, there is no reason to believe he should not run up to form in Liverpool.
"It was a great day, he is 100% and there is no bother on him, we will see what happens but the plan is to bring him up to Aintree to run in the totesport Bowl," said Twiston-Davies.
"He has always been a good horse and he proved it on Friday."
Joining him on the wagon will be Champion Hurdle runner-up Khyber Kim, who will step up in trip for the John Smith's Aintree Hurdle on Grand National day.
"Khyber Kim will run in the Aintree Hurdle, he seems to be in good form and if Binocular is there we will take him on again," said Twiston-Davies.
"It was a great day at Cheltenham, especially with Baby Run winning for Sam (Twiston-Davies) and he will come to Aintree for the Fox Hunters'."
