Rest of Cheltenham review | Botox Has the answers

The Gary Moore-trained three-year-old bounced back from defeat in a Grade Two at the track last month to add to his British debut win at Fontwell, finding plenty from the sharp end to see off the previously unbeaten Langer Dan by five lengths.

Moore said: "He has gone better today thank goodness. Whether the race was any better I don't know, but we got things a bit wrong the other day and he was kind of an unlucky loser.

"I think the winner (last month) got a nice run round the inside and we've gone round the outside which we thought was the right way, but we shouldn't take anything away from the winner.

"There was no pace in the race so he had to make his own running and as you saw, all he does is stay. I do feel he is a better horse coming off a strong pace.

"I don't know whether we will come here with Goshen, but the Chatteris Fen could be in the back of my mind for one or the other. Whether they are both good enough to run in the Triumph is another thing."

Victory for Botox Has, who was cut to 16-1 for the Triumph Hurdle by Sky Bet and 20-1 for the same race by Paddy Power, was a first in 70 days for winning rider Joshua Moore, who received plenty of praise from his dad.

Moore senior added: "The poor kid has been in bits as he has just been hitting the cross bar. This is great for him and it will be a relief as much as anything. He is as good a rider as anyone riding."

Northern grit delivers for Scudamore

Northern Beau dismissed trainer Michael Scudamore's concerns about her ability to act on soft ground with a two-and-a-quarter-length success in the Cheltenham Club Handicap Chase.

Scudamore said of the 12-1 winner: "Everything has clicked today and Brendan (Powell) has given her a great ride.

"We thought these conditions would be against her as although we got away with it last time, we didn't think she particularly enjoyed and all her best form up until then had been on better ground.

"She just loves the place. She is a dear filly, but she can sulk sometimes - as soon as she got off the lorry she grows a hand as she knows she is here.

"She has won off 125 and she probably deserves a crack at a Listed race to see if she could get some black type."

Redford on the Road to glory

Redford Road caused a minor upset in the Albert Bartlett Novices' Hurdle at Cheltenham.

Despite having won a Warwick bumper and on his hurdling debut at Wetherby, the Nigel Twiston-Davies-trained five-year-old was a 14-1 outsider for this Grade Two contest, after being beaten by the reopposing Valtor on his latest appearance at Ascot.

Mossy Fen appeared the trainer's first string, ridden by his son Sam Twiston-Davies, but Redford Road outperformed his stablemate under Jamie Bargary - seeing out the three-mile distance better than 5-2 favourite Champagne Well to prevail by half a length.

Kiltealy Briggs was third, with Mossy Fen fourth and Valtor fifth.

Twiston-Davies said: "I think he was always going to be better than Champagne Well and that is why we were in the race.

"Mossy Fen is a four-year-old and this one is six, so he (Mossy Fen) is more one for the future. This is lovely and that was very impressive.

"I thought we could turn the form around with Valtor as at one time it looked like we were in front (at Ascot) and we hoped a change of distance and a swing in the weights would help.

"I'm sure that has helped him - going up to three miles. It was a good slog so I'm sure he is a stayer in the making.

"That is his third start over hurdles and his second win, so it is very exciting.

"Let's see how he is, but he will probably have one run and then come back for the Albert Bartlett at the Festival."
