Stuart Edmunds is looking forward to Domesday Book making his long-awaited return to action in the bet365 Gold Cup Handicap Chase at Sandown on Saturday.
The eight-year-old, who has not been sighted since winning last year's Fulke Walwyn Kim Muir Challenge Cup at the Cheltenham Festival, features among 25 entries for the Grade Three contest.
Edmunds said: "Domesday Book is an intended runner and I'm very happy with him. We've taken him on two away days, one to Towcester and the other for a gallop around Lambourn.
"I can't do much more to get him fit at home without having a run. Ideally I would have liked to have got a run into him, but he has had the two away-days.
"He has been acting like an absolute hooligan which means he is in good form. It is great to have him back. We are going there very happy with him and the good ground won't be a problem.
"Ciaran Gethings is out injured so Gina Andrews will ride him. The owner was keen for her to stay on after the Cheltenham win and she will take another 3lb off his back."
Domesday Book is 33/1 for Saturday's feature with Sky Bet.
