Moscow Flyer heading straight to Cheltenham

MOSCOW FLYER will head straight to the Cheltenham Festival without another run under his belt.

The 12-year-old dual winner of the Queen Mother Champion Chase has tasted defeat on his last three starts, but is reportedly back on top of his game ahead of the two-mile contest at Prestbury Park.

“He’s coming back to himself now and is in good working form,” said Harrington’s assistant Eamonn Leigh yesterday. “Like all our horses, he’s just not been getting home but he seems to be back in grand order.”
