Verdict
Falcun has had plenty of chances recently but can't get his head in front and finished second to ZEFOOHA over C&D in June. The latter also won at this track by four lengths on his latest start and carries top weight once again. Tim Walford's charge looks capable of landing a double at the chief expense of Colonel Sherman, who has been in good form on Polytrack of late. Light The City scored twice in the summer but is 4lb higher than his last win, while Clueless lived up to his name in two starts at Carlisle either side of a close-up second at Ayr last month.
