In depth

Verdict

A low grade lottery but FALCON CLIFFS has been thereabouts on the all-weather of late and should be in the mix once again. Royal Dancer won at Brighton last month but hasn’t figured since while Miss Swift has posted better efforts of late and finished just in front Miss Green Dream over track and trip in September. Sir Gnet slides further down the weights along with Lady Of York though neither look any closer to winning.
