Diamond Harry is on course for the Cheltenham Gold Cup after recovering from a successful wind operation.
The problem was dealt with last week after jockey Noel Fehily reported he felt the Nick Williams-trained nine-year-old had a breathing difficulty when fifth to Midnight Chase in the Argento Chase at Cheltenham.
“The operation went OK and he’s recovered well. It was just a minor wind op on his soft palate,” owner Paul Duffy said.
“He’s back doing a bit of walking. I know he’s had his preparation interrupted but he wouldn’t have been doing that much at that stage.
“Obviously we won’t know for sure if it’s worked but we’re going to have a go at the Gold Cup.”
