Botox Has dominates in Triumph Trial

Botox Has provided Gary and Joshua Moore with the perfect start on Day 2 of the International Meeting at Cheltenham when winning the JCB Triumph Trial Juvenile Hurdle (Class 2) for owner John Stone.

2nd over C+D last time out to the smart Allmankind, Botox Has led from flagfall to finish, jumping fluently, albeit high at the last. Setting a sensible pace throughout, the winner was never really troubled, despite Langer Dan for the Skelton team and Group Stage for Adrian Heskin and Alan King mounting their efforts approaching the last. Despite wandering off a true line, Botox Has pulled away at the end in the soft ground, to provide not only a boost to the form of Allmankind, but also Gary Moore with a credible challenger for the Grade 1 top prize in March.
