The unexposed Fairy Falcon will be winning again this year but hasn’t raced since beaten in Listed company at Ayr in September. She’s overlooked on this occasion for MAKANAH, who looks a safer bet having finished in front of Landing Night, Primo's Comet and Robot Boy when scoring at Thirsk on his reappearance and going close again at Redcar subsequently. Julie Camacho’s charge gets the vote in his current frame of mind. Hawaam posted a better effort at Nottingham recently and won at the same track last year off only a 2lb lower mark.
