Formscan - L'eau Du Sud ought to prove popular having finished a good second in the County Hurdle at Cheltenham last month, but FAVOUR AND FORTUNE gets the vote. Far from disgraced in the Supreme Novices' Hurdle last time out, a handicap mark of 138 should be well within range. He finished second to Jango Baie, who was an unfortunate runner-up in a warm handicap at Aintree recently, in a Grade 1 at the Liverpool track on Boxing Day, and that looks a solid piece of form now. Afadil is also noted.
