Peregrine ready for Warwick Run Peter Fahey expects to find out Peregrine Run's Cheltenham Festival target after his run in the Neptune Investment Management Novices' Hurdle at Warwick. The seven-year-old took his winning run to four in a Grade Two at Cheltenham in November to get valuable course experience into him, and the form of that race has worked out particularly well. While he would not want the ground too testing, Fahey is hoping for clues as to what race he will end up in at the showpiece meeting in March, with the Neptune over this weekend's trip of two-miles-five, the Albert Bartlett over three miles or a plethora of handicaps to consider, too. In recent years horses like Inglis Drever and The New One have used this race as a springboard to stardom. "You'd have to be delighted with the way the form of his last win has worked out at Cheltenham," said Fahey. "We gave him a small break after that and the plan since has always been to come here. "Hopefully the ground won't be too soft, they are running it on fresh ground close to the chasing track. "We've got our options open regarding Cheltenham, if he goes at all. "This will hopefully tell us a lot, whether we go for the Neptune, Albert Bartlett or even a handicap. In recent years this race has been a really good pointer. "If we don't get much more rain there, hopefully he'll run well and we'll see where he ends up."
