Nacarat is set to make his seasonal reappearance in the Betfred Monet's Garden Old Roan Chase at Aintree on Saturday.
Trainer Tom George hopes the two-and-a-half-mile limited handicap will leave the 11-year-old spot-on for another crack at the william Hill King George VI Chase at Kempton on Boxing Day.
"Our plan at the moment is to run as long as they don't get any more rain and the ground stays as it is," said the Slad-based handler.
"We'll see how he is. He worked well on Tuesday and is ready to go.
"He came back in on July 1, so he's had plenty of time, but there are very few races we can run him in.
"He's dropping back in trip and this race is not going to bottom him. He's in good form and he's been working well. He's had a racecourse gallop for a trip away.
"He'll come on for it but he's got to have a run now and then the chances are we won't run him again until Christmas in the King George, which he enjoys"
