Moscow Flyer was today reported to be none the worse for his untimely exit from the Queen Mother Champion Chase at Cheltenham on Wednesday.

The 10-year-old was attempting to take the two-mile showpiece for the second successive year when he unseated Barry Geraghty at the fourth-last fence.

"He's grand, no problem," said trainer Jessica Harrington today.   "Hopefully we'll see him out soon. There are races for him at Aintree, Fairyhouse and Punchestown to choose from and we might see him in one or two of those."
