Botox Has heads dual Long Walk challenge for Moore
Goshen also set to line up in Saturday’s Ascot feature.
Botox Has will spearhead Gary Moore’s Howden Long Walk Hurdle challenge on Saturday, with stable stalwart Goshen also poised to line-up at Ascot. The former produced arguably a career best when claiming Wetherby’s Grade Two West Yorkshire Hurdle last month and his handler has been waiting for a crack at this Grade One ever since. The form of that race has a strong look with Jeremy Scott’s reopposing Wetherby third Dashel Drasher getting the better of three-time Long Walk hero Paisley Park at Newbury and Moore is now keen to see if Botox Has can back up that performance and cement his place as one of the leading players in a wide-open division.👏 Great training performance!

“I’m looking forward to running him and the form is working out well,” said Moore. “Hopefully he is as good as he was that day at Wetherby but time will tell. “He’s always been a fair horse and he was probably one of the best English horses during his juvenile year – if it had not been for Goshen he would have been the top four-year-old, he’s always been a good horse. “He didn’t really take to chasing but has done well reverting back to hurdles.”
