Flyer primed for Punchestown
17/01/2005 - 14:14:47Moscow Flyer remains on course to complete his Cheltenham Festival build-up in the Tied Cottage Chase at Punchestown later this month.
The 11-year-old was forced to miss an intended engagement at Leopardstown over Christmas as he was suffering from a cold.
Mrs Harrington reports him to be over that setback and she wants to give Moscow Flyer one more run before sending him for the Queen Mother Champion Chase at the Festival on March 16.
“It’s a Grade Three race over two miles he won two years ago and will be his only outing before Cheltenham,” said Mrs Harrington.
“He’s in grand order and, touch wood, everything is going well with his preparation for the Festival.”
Moscow Flyer has not run since beating Azertyuiop in a thrilling renewal of the Tingle Creek Chase at Sandown and he is currently the 7-4 favourite with William Hill for Cheltenham.
