Taking into account a rider’s claim, FERROBIN was giving 10lb to the in-form Paricolor at Leicester. That was his first run for a new yard and he has decent claims in a race like this. Falberto is sure to be popular after getting off the mark in a claimer at Ludlow when Guildhall was beaten 10 lengths but 2m is surely much too short for course winner Moidore. Raashdy may find the ground too testing but Mizen Master was in good form for Olly Murphy before switching stables just before Christmas.
