A whole host of smart recruits from the flat feature here so the likelihood is this takes plenty of winning but impressive Newcastle scorer CHAMPAGNE PLATINUM for Nicky Henderson can pass this tough test despite a penalty with the expectation that he becomes a Graded performer further down the line. Of those flat recruits the most appealing are Reverend Jacobs and Percy's Word having both joined connections prolific in such contests but they are far from the only newcomers on the shortlist.
