At five years old, there is plenty of time ahead, and the team at Stuart Edmunds' yard in Stewkley, Buckinghamshire, will be watching that upward trend closely. Edmunds has been in fine fettle this season, sending out 24 winners — a yard operating with real confidence. A trainer in that kind of form tends to know when a horse is ready to be aimed at something, and Fighting Falcon raced just yesterday, suggesting it is being kept busy while the momentum is there.
Uttoxeter is where it all clicked, and sometimes a track just suits a horse in ways that are hard to explain — the layout, the ground, the way the race tends to run. Whether Fighting Falcon can build on that maiden win and find more tracks that suit remains the question, but right now, this is a horse moving in the right direction at exactly the right time.
