Resurgent Goshen has returned to the news and looking for back-to-back victories in the Wincanton Matchbook Betting Exchange Kingwell Hurdle.
It's been almost two years since Gary Moore's stable star suffered a galling final-flight exit in the Triumph Hurdle at Cheltenham.
Trainer Gary Goshen has kept faith with his talented charge as he looks to repeat winning the Grade 2 Kingwell.
The six-year-old showed he was back to form with a dominant front-running display in the Contenders Hurdle at Sandown a fortnight ago.
Moore said: "Goshen has worked well. All is good with him and he goes to Wincanton, God willing.
"Some of the horses in the yard are not right and some of them are. We are running the ones that are and not running the ones that are not."
The toughest opponent for Goshden could be the David Pipe-trained Adagio.
A Grade 1 winner in last season's Finale Juvenile Hurdle at Chepstow, the French import finished second on three occasions since.
Pipe said: "Adagio pulled a muscle, but he is back on form now and Tom (Scudamore) schooled him last week. This is a stepping stone towards the Champion Hurdle and he will improve for it.
"It is the first time he has raced right-handed for us, but he won his claimer in France going right-handed and I don't think he will have any problems with it.
"He ran very well in the Greatwood as it came off a rushed preparation, as he had to have a wind op.
"He needs to step up from that for a Champion Hurdle. However, he seems in a good place."
Dan Skelton sends Faivoir, who reverts to the smaller obstacles while, Llandinabo Lad, an outsider from the Tom Symonds yard, completes the line-up.
