Philip Fenton reports Last Instalment to be in good form and on track for Cheltenham.

The nine-year-old has had his share of problems, but showed all his class remains when running away with the Hennessy Gold Cup at Leopardstown.

Fenton said: "Last Instalment is good, everything is fine with him.

"Let's hope it stays raining. If it was good to soft it would be fine for him. He is a good-actioned horse but because of his history I'd like it on the slow side.

"Any race would be fine for me but I'm sure it will be the Gold Cup, it looks like the other horse (First Lieutenant, also owned by Gigginstown House Stud) might go in the other direction (Ryanair Chase)."
