Cheltenham options for Peregrine

Peter Fahey is leaning towards the Coral Cup with Peregrine Run if conditions are suitable at the Cheltenham Festival next month.

The seven-year-old gelding was a fine Grade Two winner at the track in November - his fourth success on the spin - but he failed to land a blow in the Leamington at Warwick last month.

County Kildare-based Fahey said: "Peregrine Run will either go for the Coral Cup or the Albert Bartlett."

He went on: "We will see what weight he has in the Coral Cup, and if we are happy he'll probably go for that.

"I shouldn't have run him the last day in Warwick. I said all the time that I wouldn't run him on heavy ground.

"He didn't run too bad but I really shouldn't have run him.

"He seems great and did a nice bit of work during the week.

"If the ground is good he'll go to Cheltenham but he won't go unless the ground is good."
