A tricky finale to predict but we will side with JENNY SOBA while Black Falcon and Lady Valentino are both worth noting. The selection runs off the same mark as he did when winning in testing conditions at Warwick. Prior to that he had winning form at Southwell on the all-weather, and he seems very versatile. With a top lady amateur rider booked he is one horse to stay on the right side of. Black Falcon won back-to-back races over course and distance and at Southwell in July. He has since run consistently well in defeat and has to be put on the shortlist to run well once again. Lady Valentino has performed well in the early part of the season but has only been lightly raced. She has form on a soft surface so any market moves should be noted.
