Lots of potential on show here, not least Andrew Balding's son of New Bay FALCONER who really impressed when making a winning start at Nottingham last autumn and can return in style here. Owen Burrows' Gethin also went in at the first time of asking at Nottingham last backend and rates the main danger, although the Gosdens' Cracksman newcomer Dangerman commands plenty of respect along with the progressive Saddadd.
