We have our first two runners this evening after a little break. Things were always going to be a little more quiet with NH taking a break.

Nibras Gold & Rascal Recknell run at Haydock.

Nibras Gold returns to the level after his excellent third place in the Summer Hurdle. A career best would be needed to win this race, but Nibras Gold is in the form of his life and should run well again.

Rascal Recknell won on debut for his owners at Doncaster last month. Rascal needs to back that effort up and show he's back to the horse he was a year or two ago. This race is much deeper, but he's also in good form.
