Verdict
Falcon's Fire has had three runs in quick succession but won over track and trip earlier this month and was then only beaten a neck off his new mark at Ayr. Like most of his stablemates, Miningrocks has been in good form lately but Carbon Dating is struggling to get his head in front. The latter's stable companion LARA CARBONARA won over a longer trip here last month, however, and has become a regular visitor. She's starting to come down the weights again and a big run is anticipated. King Of Paradise is another previous course winner but fitness might be an issue for the once-useful Al Destoor.
