One of the defining images of Cheltenham 2020 was that of the freak final-hurdle incident that saw Goshen unseat jockey Jamie Moore with the Triumph Hurdle at his mercy.

Gary Moore’s charge was a good 10 lengths clear at the time and would have been the most impressive winner of the entire week had he not come to grief in such dramatic fashion.
