Verdict
A winner over hurdles in France, Invincible Nao is penalised along with recent Newbury winner Lock Out. The latter’s stablemate Moodofthemoment debuts under Rules having won a point-to-point when only two of the 12 runners completed but this can go to BLOW YOUR WAD. A decent fourth in a Grade 2 bumper, Tom Lacey’s charge finished well clear of the rest when runner-up at Ascot on his hurdling bow. Carrigdoun Boy ran well for a long way at Cheltenham on his hurdling debut while Swapped is another likely to improve.
