The likelihood of soft ground at Cheltenham has led connections, including part-owner Robert Ogden, to see the Pillar Property Chase as a chance to get the horse back to winning ways.

See More Business' trainer Paul Nicholls said: "The plan is for him to run on Saturday. I assume Mick Fitzgerald will ride him if he is free.

"He's fine, no problems. The track and ground should suit him so hopefully he'll run well."

Marlborough, an impressive winner at Cheltenham on his seasonal debut last month, was among the 12 entries made today for the Grade Two contest.

But Nicky Henderson's charge looks set to wait for the Aon Chase and a potential clash with First Gold.

Ogden's racing manager Barry Simpson said: "Marlborough is better on faster ground and we've always had it in the back of our minds to run Marlborough in the Aon Chase at Newbury.

"We wouldn't run See More Business and Marlborough in the same race until the Gold Cup.

"Having spoken to Nicky Henderson and to Mr Ogden, if the ground looks like being softish we are 99% certain to run See More Business on Saturday and Marlborough in the Aon Chase.

"If things go against Marlborough weather-wise at Newbury then he would go for the Racing Post Chase.

"Both horses will only have one run before Cheltenham."
