Barry Geraghty will partner The Young Master as he is pitched into Grade One company for the first time in the RSA Chase at the Cheltenham Festival.
The Neil Mulholland-trained six-year old will take up his entry in the extended three-mile contest on March 11 as opposed to running in the four-mile Toby Balding National Hunt Chase 24 hours earlier.
The Young Master was memorably disqualified following his win in a Listed race at Wincanton earlier in the season as he was not eligible to run in the race.
However, the Echo Of Light gelding got back on track when winning the Listed Mappin & Webb Silver Cup at Ascot before Christmas.
Mulholland said: "Barry Geraghty is going to ride The Young Master in the RSA and he will also ride The Druids Nephew in the Ultima Business Solutions Handicap Chase.
"They are both in good form. The Young Master has got good, solid handicap form against good handicap horses. With these novice chase races you never know, though.
"Having Barry Geraghty available is a big help. He has won over three miles and a furlong before at Cheltenham and there will be plenty of pace on which he likes.
"I have no doubt in my mind that he is stronger and better than his last run."
