Verdict
None of these inspire confidence including Twilight whose earlier victories came over 7f on fast ground. But the Irish raider FOOTSTEPSINTIME scored in testing going at Cork back in May and may prove good enough with a recent comeback run at Naas under his belt. Dyson's Girl slips further down the weights in search of that elusive first success while Wensley started the year rated 12lb higher and Borders Dream may do better now handicapping.
