Keith Reveley is hoping conditions at Ascot do not become too testing ahead of Tazbar's assignment in the Sodexo Prestige Reynoldstown Novices' Chase on Saturday.
The eight-year-old has won three of his four starts over fences, his only defeat coming at the hands of Long Run in the Feltham Novices' Chase.
He was a hugely impressive winner at Doncaster at the start of the month and could be set for a mouthwatering clash with Punchestowns at the weekend.
"He's in very good form and came out of his last race well, but he wouldn't go if the ground was soft or heavy," said Reveley.
"We'll have to see what Punchestowns is going to do, we might have to think a bit more about it then, but I wouldn't mind taking him on on good ground. It's his (Tazbar's) Gold Cup."
