Forecasts

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

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.
