If Hayley Turner can switch him off here, then first-time blinkers might just do the trick on COMPTON FALCON, who could just last home from Mighty Mover and Trinkila. The selection went pretty close over 10f last time in a first-time visor and now the blinkers are applied. He has not yet fully convinced over further, although nor has he performed badly, and we will give him one more try here. Trinkila will find this a bit tougher than when runner up over 11f at Kempton last time, and does not find winning easy, so we will take her on. Corrib was staying on nicely last time at Lingfield and will remain very competitive from this mark, while stablemate Mighty Mover does not entirely convince he stays this far. Fenners is back on an attractive mark and is one to monitor in the market, but Compton Falcon is preferred.
