Native to run in Gold Cup Native Upmanship will run in the Heineken Gold Cup at Punchestown on Wednesday and not tomorrow's BMW Chase.Trainer Arthur Moore wants to run the nine-year-old in the Grade One race over three miles and one furlong rather than in the two-miler.'We want to try him over three miles as it is a prestigious race in its own right and running over that trip would give us more options with next season in mind,' said trainer Arthur Moore.'There are races like the King George at Kempton to consider.'He`s run well over three miles on heavy ground and if Foxchapel King hadn`t run in the Ericsson Chase people wouldn`t be questioning whether he stays. He finished ahead of horses like Rince Ri that day when he was second.'Moore relies on Fadoudal Du Cochet in the 100,000 Euro BMW Chase, the richest race on the opening day of the Punchestown Festival, for which seven horses have been declared.'He`s well and a has a good chance but Knife Edge is the one I fear,' said Moore.
