Noel Meade is hopeful Disko can prove three miles is within his compass in Tuesday's Growise Champion Novice Chase at Punchestown.
The Gigginstown House Stud-owned six-year-old has encountered the distance just once before and was far from disgraced in finishing a close-up third behind subsequent Irish Grand National hero Our Duke at Leopardstown in December.
Disko dropped back in trip to claim Grade One glory in the February's Flogas Novice Chase before finishing third behind Yorkhill in the JLT Novices' Chase at the Cheltenham Festival.
Meade said: "He seems in very good form and we were very happy with the bit of work he did in Fairyhouse last week.
"I suppose the three miles would be a little bit of a question mark, but I think he'll be all right.
"We're very happy with him and he's going there in good shape."
Disko is one of four Gigginstown representatives in a seven-strong field, with his stablemate A Genie In Abottle, the Mouse Morris-trained Alpha Des Obeaux and Gordon Elliott's A Toi Phil also donning the familiar maroon and white silks of Michael O'Leary's operation.
Acapella Bourgeois was a hugely impressive winner of the Ten Up Novice Chase at Navan on his penultimate start, but disappointed in the RSA Chase at Cheltenham.
Tony Martin saddles Anibale Fly for leading owner JP McManus, while Willie Murphy's outsider Velocity Boy makes up the field.
