Ferdy Murphy will give Kalahari King an entry in the rearranged Keith Prowse Hospitality Tingle Creek Chase at Cheltenham on Saturday.
The nine-year-old made a creditable reappearance under top-weight at Kelso and his trainer immediately pinpointed Thursday's totesport.com Peterborough Chase at Huntingdon as his next objective.
But while that Grade Two contest is still his preferred target, Murphy said: "At this stage I would say it looks doubtful Huntingdon will be on, so we'll give him an entry in the Tingle Creek at Cheltenham."
The handler went on: "If Huntingdon is on, then he'll go there, but the Tingle Creek is an option as it will only be a small field and we know he likes Cheltenham.
"He's been to the beach at Redcar a couple of times recently and will go again in the next couple of days. He's in good form and should have improved for his first run at Kelso, just like all of ours improve for their first run."
