Made it 3-5 over hurdles when landing Grade 2 novice at Haydock (2m) in January. Excellent third in Morebattle Hurdle at Kelso last time so looks very hard to beat back in novice company.

25/1
100/1, shaped encouragingly when fourth of 15 in bumper at Warwick (16f, heavy) 12 months ago but not seen out since. Had wind op and faces no easy introduction over hurdles.

Timeform
Winning pointer who had wind op prior to finishing well held in AW bumper at Kempton. Fared much better on hurdle debut though when third in 2m5f Wincanton novice 23 days ago. Set for minor honours.

Forecasts

Faivoir (1/7), Will Carver (11/2), Giovanni Royale (25/1)

Verdict

FAIVOIR looks to face a straightforward task of notching up win number four over hurdles here having finished an excellent third to The Shunter in Kelso's Morebattle Hurdle earlier in the month. Will Carver made an encouraging start in this sphere when third at Wincanton so looks the one to chase home Dan Skelton's smart performer, ahead of newcomer Giovanni Royale.

  1. FAIVOIR (FR)
  2. WILL CARVER (IRE)
  3. GIOVANNI ROYALE
