He had no ill-effects following the injury to his near-hock which he received in the Game Spirit.'All being well he will gallop on Saturday and it will be the Queen Mother Chase next stop.'However I don`t like to be too bullish on these occasions as anything can happen. Let`s just say that at the moment Flagship Uberalles is well.'Flagship Uberalles is 5-2 favourite with Ladbrokes for the Champion Chase at Cheltenham, scene of his impressive win in the Tingle Creek Chase last December.Stable-companion Ready To Rumble will run at Warwick on Friday in preparation for a possible tilt at the EBF Novices` Hurdle Final at Sandown on March 10th.'Ready to Rumble must be one of the best horses in England yet to win a race,' Chance said.'He`s been a bit unlucky but I would hope he would run well at Warwick and if he doesn`t go to Sandown he will go for the SunAlliance Novices` Hurdle at Cheltenham.'
