FOREST FALCON was left with little to beat at Yarmouth on his final outing in September, but he clocked a fairly useful time in doing so and has the physique/pedigree to go on progressing this year. Colonel Faulkner's Deauville win has worked out relatively well and his opening mark looks fair on that evidence, while Tornadic is a likeable type who can do better still.
