Did this first ride out on new falcon... Sigh. Best ideas for repair? Epoxy good for carbon fibre? What's the best option from the breeze brains trust?

Yes.. epoxy is good for carbon fibre..

You can just use epoxy/fiberglass for that repair IMO.. (or carbon fibre cloth if you can get a small piece)

Where are you?

Mild dent around slash. Should I sand it back and fill it with carbon fibre sheet + epoxy? Cheers

If it needs filling, you should use epoxy mixed with micro balloons or Q-cell to form a paste, let that dry and sand it smooth. Then carbon fibre cloth and epoxy over the top.
