Supreme test: Shallwehaveonemore will bid to book festival spot at Kempton

Gary Moore is hopeful of keeping Cheltenham aspirations intact when Shallwehaveonemore tackles the Sky Bet Dovecote Novices’ Hurdle (3.00) at Kempton on Saturday.

Shallwehaveonemore is 5-4 with the race sponsors and started his career by defeating leading Ballymore hope Walking On Air in a Kempton bumper, so it's little surprise that he has been highly tried over hurdles.

Running freely when second on debut at Ascot, he was rated as the main market danger to Constitution Hill when fourth in a heavy ground Tolworth at Sandown before returning to the venue to break his maiden this month.

Moore said: "I've always liked him. I hope we haven't seen the true horse yet and he'll get a proper test on Saturday. We're hopeful he'll pass the test, I would be confident and we'll get a true reading of where we go after that."

Cheltenham aspirations are on the horizon for his ambitious owner Steve Packham, and Moore added: "We'll see how he comes out of the race. It's a decision for the owner, but knowing Steve, he'd probably like him to go to the Supreme."

Moore is no stranger to success in the Dovecote having ridden 1993 winner Roll A Dollar and trained 2011 scorer Sire De Grugy, who went on to land five Grade 1s over fences, including a Champion Chase.

Shallwehaveonemore could follow a similar route and Moore said: "He's a quick and accurate jumper, but he wouldn't be the biggest, although he's brave enough for fences. He's fairly well balanced, but I'd say he'll have another season over hurdles first as he's quite quick."

Annsam on course for Coral Trophy

Annsam will be hoping to provide his connections with another memorable Saturday winner in the Coral Trophy Handicap Chase (3.37), although the big day has already been and gone.

An unexposed seven-year-old, the early market leader landed a Listed prize at Ascot last time when he defeated subsequent winner Phoenix Way in comfortable fashion.

Trainer Evan Williams said: "He's in good form, we were either going here or Doncaster, but the ground was too quick there so we waited for this."

Although his Ascot form has been franked, Williams was under no illusions regarding the task, adding: "He'll need to improve again – he's running off 140 so he'll have to, and there will be plenty of horses in there who have dropped in the handicap. We'll have a crack."

Just over £34,000 is available to the winner of the three Grade 2 races at Kempton, which is eclipsed by the £85,425 prize offered to the winner of this handicap.

Williams added: "He won't go to Cheltenham. Saturday is a very big prize and, as long as he runs a nice race, we'll be delighted. We've already won our big prize with the Listed win at Ascot, this would be a bonus."
