Falcon Cliffs finished second over track and trip on her latest start but Lady Makfi went one better when ending a long losing run over course and distance last month. Both can figure again but GEORDIELAD is preferred. Well beaten over hurdles last year, the latter returned to the Flat with a victory over 1m6f at Chelmsford and can go in again with an apprentice’s allowance negating a 5lb rise in the weights. Sweetest Smile is another unexposed type but is guaranteed to stay this longer trip on breeding after better efforts over 1m4f recently.
