FALBERTO is undoubtedly the form pick in this on last season’s second at Chepstow and a recent run behind subsequent winner Paricolor in a seller at Leicester with Jordan Nailor’s claim a further factor in his favour. Gamalou D'Alene is among the least exposed and makes his hurdling debut at a very modest level after one run in a bumper. It’s hard to make a case for many of the others, though Para Queen only weakened approaching the last at Sedgefield and did win twice on the level
