Road To Riches is set to have a workout at the weekend as his preparation for the Betfred Cheltenham Gold Cup reaches fever pitch.

The Gigginstown House Stud-owned eight-year-old will then have an away day to a racecourse before his date with destiny.

Trainer Noel Meade reports this season's Lexus and Jnwine.com Champion Chase winner in fine form ahead of his crack at the blue riband on March 13.

"He's in good form and will work at the weekend," said the County Meath handler.

"We'll then take him away for a day before Cheltenham to either Leopardstown or Navan.

"He's in good shape."
