FormscanBy Gary Carson - This looks a nice race for FAUGUERNON on his chase debut given the conditions. His hurdles rating of 116 is the cut off point in this and like a lot of the Gigginstown horses he might be able to achieve a little bit more now that he tackles fences. The Echo Boy also has a mark of 116 over timber and ran well on his chase debut at Kilbeggan when just losing out close home. He didn't show that same level last time at Tramore but looks a danger having had a little break since. Knot On Time would have a bit to find on hurdles form but ran well on his chase debut at Downpatrick and is another to consider.
