Gordon Elliott has pinpointed the Ryanair as Fil Dor's potential target at the Cheltenham Festival.
The Doctor Dino grey finished runner-up in his last couple of graded chases at Naas and Cork and is now set for a step up in trip over fences.
Elliott said: “He’ll probably go to Thurles for the (Grade 2) Horse And Jockey Hotel Chase (over an extended 2m4f, January 21st) and hopefully on for the Ryanair.
“He’s run well the last couple of days and we’re going to step him up in trip and see where we are.”
Fil Dor is a four-time winner over hurdles including at Grade 2 level and has also landed a beginners' chase in Navan.
