Gold Falcon has decent claims having just failed to catch the winner over a mile here last week. He can race off the same mark today but Phils Wish has gone up 3lb for finishing runner-up over track and trip last time with TSAR PAUL a length further back in third. That was the latter's first start since June last year and with improvement expected, he looks set to end a long losing run here. Doonard Prince and Aragorn Icon finished further behind in the same race and the former has a shout in this while Reposer could get involved having tumbled down the weights last term.
