Verdict

He didn't quite go on as expected after scoring at Sandown in July, but Dermot Weld has always insisted FALCON EIGHT would be at his best this year, and he looks up to taking this on his way to better things. He's preferred to last year's winner Twilight Payment, who will appreciate the return to home shores after a couple of stiff tasks overseas. Nickajack Cave is unexposed at staying trips, and looks ready for the step up.
