Fighting Falcon
FIGHTING FALCON showed improved form when making a winning start for Stuart Edmunds in first-time cheekpieces at Uttoxeter last month and, with the timefigure fully supporting the performance, he's selected to defy a 6 lb rise in the weights. Callin Baton Rouge and Gone In Sixty head the opposition.

Minor promise only in Ireland for Josh Halley but produced a much-improved effort fitted with first-time cheekpieces when winning 12-runner handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (2½m, good to soft) on yard debut 24 days ago. 6 lb rise fair and seems sure to be a major factor once again.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosUttoxeter2m 3f 207yGoodHurdle1/12Punchestown2m 6fSoft to HeavyHurdlepu/16Limerick2mHeavyHurdle5/13Navan2mSoft to Heavy (Heavy in places)Hurdle9/25Punchestown2m 89yYielding to SoftHurdle8/20- 6Ruler LegendJ: Danny McMenaminT: Gary Hanmer56511-2Age 73/17/210/3

Gelled well with this rider of late, cashing in on much-reduced mark at Market Rasen prior to following up over extended 18f last month.

Course winner who made an inauspicious return from 12 months off at Market Rasen in April, going in snatches and struggling when pulled up after 5 out.
