Verdict
French import Baby Car makes his debut for Noel Chance today and could be of interest but it is difficult to evaluate his form and a safer option looks to be FAVERSHAM, who gets the verdict ahead of Ramvaswani. Neil King's gelding has run some decent races in defeat, including here on his latest start, but he has yet to win in 23 outings over hurdles so looks best watched. Captain Tidds has shown some promise from limited opportunities but has yet to win a race, while Sumdancer has struggled against the handicapper since winning at Plumpton a year ago. Sophist lost his way in Ireland but could be of interest on his debut for Evan Williams. The vote though goes to Faversham, who has been running consistently well of late and James Mackie's gelding looks to have been found a suitable opportunity.
