Nicky Henderson is hoping to be well represented in Saturday's StanJames.com International Hurdle at Cheltenham with Peace And Co and Hargam.
Both were leading juvenile hurdlers last season, with Peace And Co winning the Triumph in March as Hargam came home in third.
Peace And Co is seen as the best of the British two-mile hurdlers against the Willie Mullins army, but Hargam's participation could be in some doubt if there is significant rain.
"Without anything going horribly wrong, which could quite easily happen, we will run Peace And Co and possibly run Hargam if it doesn't rain too much," said Henderson.
"Peace And Co is good to go, while Hargam is in good form as well but he wouldn't want too much rain."
Henderson also had news of the injury-plagued Simonsig, forced to miss the Tingle Creek last weekend with an 11th-hour setback.
"It's to do with his splint. It's a splint on his opposite leg to what he had before. Now we know what it is we've just got to get the solution and work out what to do," he said.
"He is going to have a scan (on Friday) and hopefully something can get sorted over the weekend. Nothing is going to happen overnight, though."
