Present View is being readied for a tilt at the BetBright Chase at Kempton in February.

Jamie Snowden's Cheltenham Festival winner, who finished third in the Paddy Power Gold Cup last month, remains a novice over hurdles and that could be a route taken before his target race.

"I think we are working towards the BetBright Chase at Kempton," said Berkshire-based Snowden.

"I'm sure he's got a big handicap in him before he steps up in class.

"We'll probably run him in a novice hurdle before then as it would be a long time without a run if he went straight from the Paddy Power to Kempton. As he's still a novice, that's something we can look at.

"If he doesn't win at Kempton there are a couple of handicap options at the Festival for him. If not, I think the Topham at Aintree would suit him down to the ground.

"He only turns seven in a few weeks and I very much hope he has a big future.

"Hopefully he makes up into a Graded horse as he has a lot more to offer yet."
