Falcon's Song makes her handicap debut and belated seasonal reappearance. She won a maiden race over 1m2f at Chelmsford over a year ago now and GREAT THOUGHTS (NAP) makes more appeal. The latter posted her best effort to date when placed at Windsor over a similar trip and David Simcock’s filly is also preferred to stablemate and handicap debutante Disquotational. Saga Sprint won a claimer when trained in Ireland and has only his second start for new connections but Martha Mccandles has something to prove over today’s distance.
