Verdict

FALCON CLIFFS scored over a similar trip here before landing a double with last month’s victory at Wolverhampton. A further 4lb rise may not be enough to anchor Tony Carroll’s mare in this. Homesick Boy is now 10lb higher than when winning over track and trip in October while Que Quieres returned a disappointing favourite last time having won here before that. In Demand should be sharper for last month’s outing as drops back down in trip but Banta Bay has just the one win in 27 starts on the all-weather.
