Moscow Flyer to go straight to Cheltenham.

Trainer Jessica Harrington has stated that last year´s Champion Chase winner Moscow Flyer is to go straight to Cheltenham without another run in the meantime.

Harrington also indicated that, should the gelding perform well at Cheltenham, he may run in the 2m4f Martell Cognac Melling Chase at Aintree the following month.

Harrington stated 'we virtually made up our minds after he won at Leopardstown last month that he would go straight to Cheltenham this time.' She added 'if everything goes well at Cheltenham we will probably take him to Aintree. We might as well try him over two and a half miles this season. If we don´t we probably never will.'
