Willie Mullins singled out JLT Novices' Chase hopeful Vautour for special praise after a post-racing workout after racing at Leopardstown on Saturday.
Vautour was one of a trio of Cheltenham Festival-bound runners to strut their stuff for Mullins, with Betfred Gold Cup hopeful Djakadam and Un De Sceaux, who is viewed by many as a banker in the Racing Post Arkle Trophy, also in action.
Mullins said: "They worked over more or less a mile and a half and jumped a few fences.
"I was very pleased with them and they put in a good round of jumping. Vautour was very good."
Gordon Elliott was thrilled with his army of Cheltenham Festival aspirants after a good chunk of his yard worked after racing at Leopardstown on Saturday.
The County Meath handler is especially looking forward to big Ryanair Chase hope Don Cossack, who was one of the stand-out names amongst a 17-strong posse of horses.
"I'm very happy with them all," said Elliott. "They went at half-speed and quickened up the last couple of furlongs.
"We'll not learn much from that, but it gets them to stretch their legs and they all did it nicely.
"All of the lads seemed happy. Once they are all okay, it's all systems go.
"Don Cossack looks a millions dollars and I'm very happy with him.
"I had Shane McCann on No More Heroes as he's as good a judge as there is in the yard and he was happy with him.
"Game Changer has an awful lot of speed and worked very well, while I was also happy with Clarcam.
"Hostile Fire is in the Fred Winter and looks well enough weighted.
"Taglietelle goes for the Coral Cup and he stays well."
Meanwhile, Ian Williams is keen to run Super Duty in the Crabbie's Grand National after being satisfied with the nine-year-old's effort at Doncaster on Saturday.
Super Duty finished seventh behind Wayward Prince in the Grimthorpe Chase after showing up prominently in what was only his second race for the West Midlands trainer.
He had been trained by Donald McCain to finish second in the Kim Muir Challenge Cup at the Cheltenham Festival in 2013, but was off the track from that December until this January when having his first start for the Williams team.
"Super Duty will still go for the National. He just found the ground round here too quick for him," said Williams.
"It's been very difficult to find the right race for him as I wanted to give him a run back over fences.
"He's jumped well enough but they just went too fast for him on that ground.
"He might possibly run once more before then, but if he had to go straight there he could do. The National is still quite a way off."
Super Duty, who has been allotted 10st 4lb for the world's most famous steeplechase at Aintree on April 11, is generally available at 50/1.
Another trainer, Charlie Longsdon is convinced Drop Out Joe has the ability to win a good staying handicap chase after the novice finished second behind Wayward Prince in the same race.
The Chipping Norton trainer will consider the Coral Scottish Grand National at Ayr and the Bet365 Gold Cup at Sandown for the seven-year-old, who was only beaten seven lengths despite making a few basic jumping errors.
"That was only his fourth ever run over fences. The jockey (Davy Russell) was delighted with him," said Longsdon.
"He made a few novicey mistakes and I thought after his bad mistake at the fifth last he'd run a cracker, but that was his race over with.
"He kept on going and ran on. If he hadn't made that mistake he'd have been closer to the winner, but I'm not sure if he would have won.
"The winner was top class and was now running off little more than 10st. We've run an absolute blinder in his first handicap after so few runs over fences and making several mistakes.
"There's a decent handicap in him. Fingers crossed he'll run again this season. You've got to look at the likes of the Scottish National and the Whitbread (Bet365 Gold Cup).
