Gary Moore has confirmed Goshen will be aimed at the Grade 1 Punchestown Champion Hurdle on April 30, with bookmakers Paddy Power adding extra incentive through a £100,000 bonus.
Honeysuckle will face at least one British challenger should she go to the Punchestown festival with trainer Moore on Monday confirming Goshen for the rematch.
And on Tuesday Paddy Power announced they are offering a six-figure bonus to any British-trained runner who travels to Punchestown and wins the Champion Hurdle, a race the bookmaker sponsor.
The cheeky incentive comes after Ireland dominated last month s Cheltenham Festival, winning 23 of the 28 races.
Spokesperson Paddy Power said: We gave the Brits a beating at Cheltenham and now we re laying down a challenge to the tune of £100k – come and have a go if you think you re good enough.
