Siouxperhero's winning run came to end in better company at Leicester and he's dropped back in trip for this. Bayleyf recorded a three length victory over track and trip last week but that was his first win since 2011 and a penalty may prove his undoing. FOOTSTEPSINTHERAIN scored at Kempton at this time last year off a 7lb higher mark and he gets the vote to come good again in this. Royal Connection has two ways of running and is due one of her better efforts while Fiftyshadesofgrey continues to slide down the weights without any noticable improvement.
