Mohaison gameplan still unclear

Connections of Star De Mohaison have yet to decide whether to give the Royal & SunAlliance Chase winner his first run of the season over hurdles on Saturday.

The five-year-old, trained by Paul Nicholls, is entered in the Lombard Properties Handicap Hurdle at Cheltenham and is running out of prep races ahead of the Hennessy Cognac Gold Cup at Newbury on November 25.
