Verdict

Falcon's Fire is regularly placed off today’s mark but the handicapper refuses to relent as a consequence and he may find CLENYMISTRA too good in this. The latter scored off a higher mark over 1m2f at Ripon earlier and has subsequently gone close over today’s longer trip. David O’Meara’s charge gets the nod with an apprentice’s allowance helping his cause. Don't Do It’s recent third came in a seller while Life Knowledge never threatened when fourth over track and trip last time and Magic's Boy has shown little in novice company as he goes handicapping for the first time.
