Nicky Henderson frequently treads softly softly with his novices and his BAISER INTERDIT is taken to give the weight away here to mainly older rivals after obliging quite neatly on his debut for the yard at Sedgefield. The French import should progress with racing and is preferred to Ena Baie. The Fry stable is always pretty quiet in the summer jumping months so it may be worth keeping a close eye on this French import who has only been seen twice in the last 18 months for the yard. The rest with NH form look limited but Cuillin had some fair maiden form on the level for James Fanshawe and is one to note on this hurdling debut.
