Noel Meade will give Go Native one final workout at Leopardstown on Sunday week ahead of his date with destiny in the Smurfit Kappa Champion Hurdle at Cheltenham on March 16.

Last year's Supreme Novices' Hurdle winner heads to this year’s Festival with the chance of winning a £1million bonus should he land the WBX Hurdling Triple Crown.

Having already won the Fighting Fifth at Newcastle in November and Kempton's Christmas Hurdle, Go Native is one victory away from landing the mammoth prize and Meade said: "We will probably take him away to Leopardstown rather than Navan to work as the ground will be better for him there.

"We worked Harchibald at Navan 10 days before he ran in the Champion Hurdle and he ended up pulling himself up on heavy ground!"

Go Native is 6/1 with Ladbrokes to land the big race and Meade is hoping his decision to rest the superstar since Christmas will pay off.

"We stopped with him after Christmas and didn't train him through January," explained Meade.

"He was hacking every day but didn't do any fast work as we slowed him right down.

"We have started quickening him up again and we now need to get him to Cheltenham in good form.

"Paul murdered them turning in and Medermit got close [in last year’s Supreme Novices’ Hurdle], but we were in front too long," Meade added.

"If we get there in the same form this year we'll hold on to him longer and the quicker they go, the better it will be for him.

"Having got to this stage we just wanted to get there now and hope he travels well again."

Ladbrokes are offering punters a free £25 on this year’s Cheltenham Festival.
