FANCY FOOTSTEPS can follow up from his recent Kempton success with both Wavertree Warrior and April Foot being the likely dangers. The selection has risen six pounds in the ratings since breaking her maiden tag on the all weather back in January. She did show some greenness in her earlier outings last season but having performed well over the winter on the all weather she has shown improvement and if she recaptures her best form she is sure to go close. Wavertree Warrior has not won for over two seasons but has slipped down the weights as a result. His last win was off a mark of 85 and with a rating now of 57 he looks well in so any market moves should be noted. April Foot¿s form is a little inconsistent. He has won off a mark of 63 on the all weather and is more than capable of running a fair race off his currant mark so he has to be respected. Fancy Footsteps looks the form horse in the race and is taken to land back to back handicaps.
