Red-hot RSA Chase favourite Time For Rupert came through his last schooling session before Cheltenham with flying colours.

Paul Webber's stable star had to miss his intended prep race in the Argento Chase back in January after scoping badly.

Ridden by Will Kennedy in the exercise, the general 9-4 favourite jumped three fences after warming up over a few tyres and a brush hurdle.

"He just warmed up over a few tyres and things and then popped over three fences. I couldn't have been happier," Kennedy told At The Races.
