Nick Williams' juvenile hurdlers normally improve with experience but DIABLE DE SIVOLA (NAP) made a winning debut in smooth fashion at Uttoxeter and beat a subsequent winner in the process. Nachi Falls was only third in that race but has won since at Newton Abbot so the form is working out really well. Milrow has struggled under penalties since winning at Market Rasen in June and is likely to be found wanting again.
