Currently a 10-1 chance with Hills and Sky Bet for the Triumph Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival, making him the shortest British-trained contender for the race, the Horsham handler is hopeful the Olly Harris-owned four-year-old will pass his prep run with flying colours.
“It is all systems go for Saturday,” said Moore on Tuesday.
“He galloped good this morning. I was very pleased with him. As long as everything is all right for the rest of the week, then he goes on Saturday.
“I’m expecting him to run very well. I hope so, anyway.
“The ground is going to be what he wants up there and it looks like there will be a bit of pace in the race, so fingers crossed.”
