Castlecrossings, Falcons Gift and Poker Queen look the main protagonists in this mares only race and the vote is given to Falcons Gift. The selection was a fair second behind Mole's Chamber last time out. That form looks solid and although the drop in trip is a slight worry she looks the one to be on. Castlecrossings rates the main danger on her latest sixth behind Presenting Cooper. This looks easier and with her yard in form she will not be far away. Poker Queen is another worthy of respect on her best bumper form, she is sure to have been well schooled for this her hurdling debut but the suspicion is she may need the run after a 223 day break. Celtic Romance could improve for the fitting of first time cheek pieces but Falcons Gift is our idea of the winner.
