Verdict
Footman was ahead of Nathan Mayer and Sussex Ranger at Kempton last time but ran poorly on his only previous try on Turf here. Many Waters was second to WEFAIT on Polytrack in April but is 2lb worse off and Richard Hannon’s colt has taken on better opposition since, possibly finding 1m6f too far last time at Sandown. He’s preferred to stablemate Sonnetist, while The Secrets Out has more to do than when successful over course and distance last time off a 5lb higher mark.
