Gary Moore says he’s “desperate” to see Goshen in action at Saturday’s Unibet International Hurdle at Cheltenham.
Having missed out on the Elite Hurdle at Wincanton in early November and then the Fighting Fifth Hurdle at Newcastle, Goshen is now set to feature at Prestbury Park this weekend.
Goshen unseated Jamie Moore at the Cheltenham Festival in March to be denied victory in the Triumph Hurdle but now Moore is eager to see his charge back in action at Cheltenham.
“We’re really looking to it, he’s been very good the last few weeks,” Moore said.
“He had a little school this morning, in the indoor school, and he was very quick and accurate and I couldn’t be happier.
“People were quite rude about his jumping before Cheltenham, but I was convinced it would be fine and it was – apart from what happened at the last and that was just a freak accident. Otherwise he was spot on at everything.
“We’ll see if our grass is good enough to work on in the morning and if it is he’ll do his last piece of work. He’ll be scoped afterwards and all being well he’ll head to Cheltenham.”
