Waley-Cohen: more to come from Long Run

SAM Waley-Cohen believes Long Run can be an even better horse in the totesport Cheltenham Gold Cup than he was when running away with the King George VI Chase at Kempton.

Nicky Henderson’s six-year-old dethroned four-time King George winner Kauto Star with a scintillating display at the Sunbury track, and the blue riband is his next port of call.

“He’s done extremely well since the race and has even perked up and really sharpened himself,” said Waley-Cohen.
