Verdict
A weak handicap. After a wind operation, FALCO DES PINS ran well enough from the front at Taunton to believe he could be the one.
Falco Des Pins
Betting Forecast:
11/8 Falco Des Pins,
3/1 Icare Colombe,
4/1 Count Adhemar,
7/1 Blackijo Dagrostis,
12/1 Make Sunshine,
Jackson's Bay,
25/1 Model Approach,
50/1 O'Grady's Hill
