FALCON TO A WINNER

- BY GARRY OWEN

PRAIRIE FALCON (6.0) can soar for Michael Dods in the raceday-ready.com Handicap at Newcastle.

The four-year-old was narrowly denied by the useful Sibyl Charm on his return over track and trip and will be primed so he can take advantage of a fair mark for a trainer hitting peak form.

HEATHERDOW­N HERO (4.57) can show his mettle for in-form trainer Rebecca Menzies. The five-year-old hated a switch to soft turf when only eighth to Clear White Light at Catterick but had been thriving on the allweather so can claim this more suitable target.

Ruth Carr is also flying so I’m backing BROTHER DAVE (7.30) in the Raceday Handicap.

The four-year-old completed back-to-back wins at Southwell with a cosy defeat of Bluebells Boy and scored with plenty in hand so can land a hat-trick despite a 4lb hike.

Patrick Morris’ BADOSA

(8.30) can also make it three on the trot in the sprint. The filly stayed on the rise when brushing aside Desert Master

over course and distance and is nicely unexposed for her new yard so she can follow up under Billy Loughnane.

ISLE OF LISMORE (1.50) can coast to victory for shrewd Robert Cowell at Newmarket.

Progressiv­e last year, the gelding returned with a fine third to Star Of Lady M at Lingfield and is even better on turf so can put that run to good use in a tricky handicap.

BROADWAY ACT (2.20) can give Charlie Appleby more glory here in the JRA Handicap.

The three-year-old was a respectabl­e third over course and distance and is open to plenty more progress so can deny some promising foes.

SLIPOFTHEP­EN (2.55) will make no mistake for Team

Gosden in the Mutasaabeq Handicap.

The four-year-old wasn’t ready for Listed level when third to Captain Winters at Sandown in May but has been given time to develop so can bounce back dropped in class.

ONLY IN JAKARTA (4.40) can shade the trappy bet365 handicap for Kevin Ryan.

The gelding rates a sure-fire improver this year after chinning Parthenopa­eus at Newcastle.
