Likely targets Our view, not confirmed plans
- Possible target Date to be confirmedPaddy Power Gold Cup Chase (Cheltenham, November); the Festival 2m4f handicap chase is the spring hopeHarry Derham: he will have a hurdle run "as preparation for the Paddy Power Gold Cup at Cheltenham", adding the December Gold Cup may suit better, and "I'd love to end up in the two and a half mile chase at the Festival."
