Son Of Gleneagles Wins Maiden In Good Style

Desert Falcon (3g Gleneagles - Love Oasis, by Oasis Dream) took a step forward on his seasonal return to justify favouritism in Saturday’s seven furlong maiden at Lingfield.

Sir Mark Prescott’s charge was last seen finishing third over a furlong shorter and was reunited with Thore Hammer Hansen on his first start since October. Leading from the gates, he began to draw clear from two furlongs out and was pushed out to score by two lengths and three quarters. Newcomer Doras Tamar (Holy Roman Emperor) shaped with promise in second.

Bred by Tullpark Ltd, Desert Falcon is owned by Allison, Gregson, Matterson and Satchell.
