'I've always thought he'd stay three miles'

Steve Packham's horse Goshen is hoping to win a first Grade 1 at Kempton on Monday. Gosen is a favourite to do so. Packam is watching the Long Walk Hurdle from Dubai. Gosens was the winner of the Coral Ascot H hurdling last month. He will be tested against the likes of Champ and Paisley Park. The weather should be good for Goshens. It will rain at the Kepkon. His opponent is Long Distance Hemptle 1-2 Champ. They will also be Paiksley park and mare Miranda. Steve Packhams' first winner was Key Player at Folkestone in 1997.
