Kim Bailey is hoping for respite from the freezing weather to allow him to get Charbel to Southwell for his final public appearance on Friday ahead of the Betway Queen Mother Champion Chase at Cheltenham.

Kim Bailey is leaning towards running Charbel in the Betfred Peterborough Chase at Huntingdon on Sunday rather than the Betfair-sponsored Tingle Creek at Sandown 24 hours earlier.

Kim Bailey is in no rush to decide whether to send Charbel into battle again this season following his heartbreaking exit at last week's Cheltenham Festival.

Altior's triumph in the Racing Post Arkle Novices' Chase takes trainer Nicky Henderson's tally of Festival wins to 56.
