Verdict

Nicky Henderson rarely runs juvenile hurdlers this early in the season but seems intent on having some fun with Recognition, who made a winning start at Market Rasen, However, he may struggle to give 6lb to INVOCATION (NAP), who had Khismet behind when third at Stratford and was then only beaten a head by Hygrove Percy over this track and trip. Nachi Falls should improve on his third at Uttoxeter but Diamant Bleu is probably best watched seeing a racecourse for the first time.
