Forecasts

Falcon Eight (1/1), Legal Spin (6/4), Light Pillar (5/1), Conron (33/1), Gentility (50/1)

Verdict

FALCON EIGHT is a nicely-bred and well-related colt that could have a decent future for Dermot Weld. He brushed aside clear signs of inexperience on debut to win at the Curragh, rather comfortably in the end, and can improve to maintain his winning ways now. The danger is Light Pillar, who ran well in Listed company last time and has fair designs on this, though perhaps might prefer further emphasis on stamina. Legal Spin, a maiden winner here last time, also enters the equation with the champion jockey on board.
