In depth
Verdict
FALBERTO has won a claimer at Ludlow and a seller at Stratford this term and this presents another good opportunity, despite 8lb extra, with little credible opposition. Good Bye looks the danger having a first run in a seller given he won a jumpers’ bumper in February and has also won on the Flat. The others can fight out the minor placing.
