Gary Moore has raised the possibility of Sire De Grugy wearing a pair of blinkers as he attempts to regain his Betway Queen Mother Champion Chase crown next week.

Gary Moore has refused to abandon hope of stable star Sire De Grugy making the Cheltenham Festival in March despite a scan revealing his stable star has a hip injury which means he will not run again this year.

Sire De Grugy is all set for his date with destiny as he assumes the mantle of favourite for the BetVictor Queen Mother Champion Chase.
