Lucinda Russell feels Ahoy Senor is peaking at the right time to take his place in a "very open" Cheltenham Gold Cup.
The smart chaser, 14-1 for the Boodles-backed Festival highlight, came through his final serious piece of work with flying colours on Tuesday.
Russell has been thrilled with the condition of her dual Grade 1 scorer since his career best in the Cotswold Chase. Runner-up Noble Yeats will seek revenge on the return to Prestbury Park, where Ahoy Senor also meets old rival Bravemansgame.
