Race preview
FALCONER impressed in mastering an odds-on favourite when introduced over an extended mile at Nottingham at the back end of last season. A dual Derby entrant, the son of New Bay is highly likely to find this step up in trip a natural process and he is very much the pick of Andrew Balding's duo. Gethin also made a winning debut at the same venue last autumn and is another Derby entrant to bear in mind. Dangerman and Marnier are notable newcomers representing a top yard.
