Ustedes a Cheltenham possible

Voy Por Ustedes could return to action over hurdles at Cheltenham ahead of his main target at Aintree next month.

The 10-year-old has been a regular at the Festival since 2006, winning the Arkle Trophy and the Queen Mother Champion Chase as well as finishing second in the latter race and the Ryanair.

He then usually moves on to Aintree, where he won the John Smith's Melling Chase in 2008 and 2009 - and that race is again the plan.

Since his last outing at Cheltenham in April, he has left Alan King's stable and is now with Nicky Henderson at Seven Barrows.

"He's doing OK. We're satisfied with what he's done. He's done a couple of racecourse gallops as well and it's so far so good with him," said Barry Simpson, racing manager to owner Sir Robert Ogden.

"His objective is to go to Aintree, but we need to run him somewhere first. He may go to Cheltenham for a hurdle race, that's a possibility. He's in the Coral Cup and the Grand Annual Chase."
