MILROW made a winning start over hurdles over course and distance last month. Both G'day Aussie and Daring Knight finished tailed off on that occasion and Richard Newland’s charge can defy a penalty in this. Recognition has won twice on the Flat and makes his hurdling bow for Nicky Henderson. He has a similar rating on the level to another newcomer to hurdling in Four Mile Beach but Bobby's Babe was a long way behind when pulled-up at the last at Hexham last month on her first start over timber.
