His first task is to make the cut for the race and the handicapper has put him 3lb for his efforts last weekend, which makes his participation at Cheltenham far from certain.
He has come out of his defeat of good yardstick Coeur De Lion on Saturday in good order and the intention is to run him at Prestbury Park, provided he gets in.
Trainer Sam Drinkwater hopes history does not repeat itself as his Nightboattoclyro agonisingly missed the cut by one for the same race in 2021.
"The Brimming Water is very well. He's had a couple of days in the field and I'm very happy with him. The handicapper has been quite kind to him giving him 3lb," said the Worcester handler.
"I will put him in the Martin Pipe. I think I missed out by one last year with Nightboattoclyro off the same mark of 130, so it will be nip and tuck if he got in but that will be the race I'll be training him for.
"Hopefully this lad gets in. He's been fantastic and I couldn't believe he got beat at Haydock. We beat Unexpected Party at Wetherby in his previous race and he trotted up at Ascot and is now rated 142. Maybe it was the sharp track at Haydock, but he put it right at Newbury.
"If he got into the Martin Pipe, he could have a live chance.
"My conditional jockey, Danny Burton, will ride him at Cheltenham. He's done nothing wrong and deserves his chance."
