In depth
Verdict
Faustinovick is 0-12 over fences but has placed eight times. After unseating his rider on his fencing bow at Chepstow, Clemencia has made the frame four times in a row but this is a tight little handicap and the 3lb that Niall Houlihan claims off Fontwell second SOPRAN THOR may well prove decisive.
