Grade 2 over hurdles last season before a fine fourth in the Triumph. Has cranked it up another notch this winter, making all in Grade 2 at Haydock and this uncomplicated sort is a danger to all.

Developed into a smart hurdler last term and improved again with 5-length defeat of Call Me Lord in 19f Ascot Grade 2 on reappearance. Followed up in messy International Hurdle at Cheltenham.

Made into smart novice chaser last term, the highlight being his Grade 1 success at Sandown. Has fallen in 3 of 4 starts since and this no easy assignment back over timber.

More end product fitted with cheekpieces, running out a wide-margin winner of a C&D handicap in December before an excellent second at Sandown. Up in class but limit may not yet have been reached.

Had the 2020 Triumph well and truly at his mercy before an unseat at the last. Brace of reversals on Flat before suffering from a fibrillating heart in the International Hurdle. This will reveal more.

Forecasts

Song For Someone (11/10), Goshen (10/3), Friend Or Foe (11/2), Navajo Pass (6/1), Esprit Du Large (11/1), Calgary Tiger (500/1)

Verdict

Backing GOSHEN clearly comes with risks attached on the back of a physical issue at Cheltenham, but he receives 6 lb from main form rivals Song For Someone and Navajo Pass and, at the forecast prices, he may well be worth siding with. Song For Someone won that aforementioned race and seems sure to go well.

  1. GOSHEN (FR)
  2. SONG FOR SOMEONE (GER)
  3. NAVAJO PASS
