Falmassim can keep up the run of form enjoyed by the Cumani yard, with Loch Verdi, Nusoor and Forestelle all interesting contenders. This could throw up a few future winners, but the one to be on today can be Falmassim who caught the eye when staying on late into fourth behind Mr Sandicliffe on his Nottingham debut 10 days ago. He really picked up with a purpose once the penny had dropped, and at the very least holds Spinning who was fifth that day. Loch Verdi is highly rated and has missed a couple of engagements already, so we an assume that she is now ready to do battle, while the Fasliyev colt Nusoor should be noted in the betting on his debut. Forestelle needs to improve on what he showed on his Debut here but at least has track knowledge now. Without being too confident, we reckon that Falmassim could turn out to be quite useful in time, and he is the selection in the finale.
