Falcon's Fire has not perhaps been at his best this year but he's threatened to show it and this drop in distance might help him along the way. Similarly, Gaelic Tiger has been supported in three runs since joining current trainer but 2m last time at York perhaps stretched him out too far and he is respected now back down in trip. Navajo War Dance has some claims if repeating the efforts at Doncaster and on AW at Newcastle lately but KINGTHISTLE might get a deserved turf breakthrough in this having showcased his well-being at Beverley recently with a good runner-up finish. My Brother, dropping from Listed company, is one to pay attention to on his seasonal bow.
