He dropped away far too easily for a true reflection and was super keen throughout and I say that as a neutral. I'd of loved to see him add spice to the division but equally I think he is better than whatever that was today.
Sorry if I didnt make sense

I thought Song for Someone did well today, great positioning by Auden Coleman when they all had to run around the last, I think if Silver Streak had positioned himself better he would have won.
That’s two impressive wins on the bounce for SFS but I do get a bit deflated when his trainer keep mentioning he’s not a fast horse, he’s mentioned it a few times and it puts me off from backing a two mile champion hurdle prospect if his trainer considers him a slow horse, unless he’s playing us it’s not much of a confidence booster for a race you definitely need gears to win

Very happy with the result of the International today. I took Sky special @ 80/1 today and Champion Hurdle as well as backing him for the day. I don't expect to collect on the double as he still needs to find 10lbs and is more likely to head for Aintree than head back to Cheltenham

“Trainer Moore insisted Goshen is fine this morning and that he has not been ruled out for the rest of the season.
But they will monitor the heart situation - known as 'atrial fibrillation' - and hope for a quick recovery.”
"There was a lot of disappointment from yesterday but we learned one thing - don't restrain the horse, let him use his stride. He is a little bit different, he doesn't like being crowded. Yesterday we have been trying to hold him up rather than let him use his stride because horses don't always last all the time if they're out there making the running. We tried to hold him up and it was the complete wrong thing to do."The owls are not what they seem

They should forget about this season and give him plenty of time to recover. The horse obviously has issues and it would be a shame if they rushed him back.
