McConnell hoping for another fruitful trip to Cheltenham A regular participant at Cheltenham, Moon D'orange is set for another visit to the Cotswolds next month after a fine effort at the festival on his last start. The eight-year-old chaser was backed at big prices before staying on into third behind Madara in the Sun Racing Plate over two and a half miles.  That was the eleventh run at the track for the chestnut gelding whose last win came in a £100k handicap there in January 2025. "The headgear (visor) did the trick, I think," said trainer John McConnell with regard to that latest effort. "It was great because the season hadn't gone great for him, and he was unlucky not to be second. A great run."  "He'll go back there in April for a chase he was fourth in last year - a good, valuable chase." Additional reporting by Michael Graham
