A half-brother to a winning hurdler and chaser, FAIVOIR (NAP) won a point before completing a double in bumpers on his final two starts last season – he looks an exciting prospect for jumping. Here Comes McCoy won a Warwick bumper on soft ground in January on his racecourse debut and could be anything. Mayfair Spirit won five times on the Flat and could be interesting if taking to hurdles but three-times Flat winner Pianissimo will have to jump better than at Uttoxeter. Cormier has been in cracking form on the level lately but was pulled up on his hurdling debut.
