In depth

Verdict

All have displayed sufficient degrees of promise to indicate they can be competitive in ordinary maiden company but FOOTSTEPS FOREVER, the sole winner on show, sets a decent standard on the back of a decisive Pontefract success when making all. She controlled the race impressively that day and is taken to concede weight to the colts in what rates an admittedly tougher task. Dontgiveuponbob has plenty of experience and should find a race sooner or later although the form of his latest run was rather let down by the winner next time. He still looks the prime danger though. Myboyhenry, Hello My Sunshine and Here In The Dark have all shown enough to play a part in a tight little contest.
