Rated 77, INVOCATION faded badly in the closing stages stepped up to 1m3f last time. But Alan King’s charge had finished clear of the rest when runner-up over track and trip before that and should go close again. A few of these will be hoping to improve past the selection on the back of placed efforts. That includes Naqdy and Shadad, who both made the frame at this track, while Crystallographer was third at Kempton and the more exposed Van Dyke found one too good on his latest start at Goodwood.
