Formscan - Karnaval Point made it two wins from three appearances over fences for the David Pipe stable and has to be considered back over hurdles, but it may pay to side with PADDY DE POLE. Paul Nicholls' charge returned to action to fill the runner-up spot over 2m4f at Worcester and is likely to appreciate this step back up in distance. Tyson and Shallow River appear best of the remainder.
