FALCATIV'S first start for trainer Marco Botti was a winning one as he landed success a 1m handicap at Lingfield on December 4.
Acquired out of the recent Horses in Training Sale at Tattersalls, the Dioscuri Srl-owned four-year-old was tucked in on the fence for much of the contest and for a moment it appeared as if he'd not get the gaps when needed.
Upfront Den's Gift appeared to have flown, stealing a length or two out of the field under a canny front-running ride.
But Falcativ, ridden by Jerry O'Dwyer finally saw daylight from over 1f out and absolutely motored through the closing stages to get up close home for a neck triumph.
The 9/2 victory was the third of his career.
