David Pipe is happy to bide his time and wait until the final declaration stage before revealing Moon Racer's aim for Cheltenham.
The eight-year-old made it two wins from two outings over the hurdles when he strode home by two-and-a-quarter-lengths at Prestbury Park back in November but has not been seen since, with Pipe happy to keep him turning over at home.
However, recent rumours have suggested that he is in good form heading into the Festival and has been tipped for a go at either the Champion Hurdle or the Supreme Novices' Hurdle.
The Somerset-handler saw his charge claim Champion Bumper glory 12 months and says he is yet to decide on which race he will target when he looks to make it a double.
Pipe said: “Moon Racer is quite a deceiving horse at home, he covers a lot of ground and does it all very easy.
“He's proved on the track that he's a very good horse and we thought at the time that it was worth entering him in the Champion Hurdle. He'll be left in that and the Sky Bet Supreme at the five-day stage and we'll make a decision after that.
“Obviously it's a bit different nowadays with the supplementary stage in the Champion so we'll sit down with the owners and Tom Scudamore and hopefully make the right decision.”
