Howard Johnson is looking forward to seeing how Nafaath gets on as he tackles Grade One company for the first time in the Matalan Anniversary 4-Y-O Novices' Hurdle at Aintree
The youngster was rated in excess of 100 on the Flat when trained by Kevin Prendergast in Ireland and opened his account over obstacles in impressive style at Ayr last month.
Johnson said: "We've decided to let Nafaath take his chance and he seems a very nice horse. I think he really wants two and a half miles but we thought we'd let him run over two in this sort of company as they'll go a good gallop. Denis rode him on Tuesday morning and was very pleased with him."
