The West Sussex trainer is looking at a race at Ascot on February 19 for the six-year-old, who was second to Minella Class in the 32Red hurdle, formerly known as the Tolworth, at Sandown a month ago.
"He had quite a nasty cut in the pastern that took a while to heal up and we're still giving him laser treatment for it every day now for it to heal up properly," Moore said.
"He's in good form with himself and hopefully he'll have a run on the 19th at Ascot. If that goes well he'll go to Cheltenham I think for the Supreme."
Megastar is generally available at 20/1 for the Supreme Novices' Hurdle, although, at the time of writing, Ladbrokes are offering a standout best-price 33/1.

Meanwhile, Colin Tizzard is looking forward to running Hell's Bay in the new Jewson Novices' Chase at the Festival next month.
The Dorset trainer believes his horse should head the ante-post betting for the two-and-a-half-mile contest instead of being a best-price 10/1 (Bet365) chance.
Hell's Bay advertised his Festival claims when beating Medermit on his latest start at Cheltenham on New Year's Day, with the runner-up boosting the form when winning the Grade One Scilly Isles Novices' chase at Sandown on Saturday.
"I think he should be favourite. He's going straight for the Jewson," said Tizzard.
"He goes well fresh this horse so we are purposely going to wait until the Festival with him. He's been brilliant."

Tizzard also reported Cue Card's preparation for Cheltenham had stepped up a gear. Last season's Champion Bumper victor is set to run on the opening day of the Festival in either the Supreme Novices' Hurdle or the Champion Hurdle.
"He's just started his fast work now and he's well on course for the Supreme or the Champion - one of them," he added.
Cue Card is best-price 5/2 (see market above) for the Supreme at the time of writing and best-price 33/1 (Stan James) for the Champion Hurdle.
