Had looked as though a longer trip would suit on her debut at Chester (6f, soft) but put that experience to good use when winning on her next start at Pontefract. She did well there to overcome an outside draw and this 7f looks as though it will suit even better although she does have to give weight away all round.

The most experienced of all these with four runs under his belt already and has run well on all those starts with the exception of a disappointment when an odds-on favourite at Wetherby. Got back on track at York last time out showing his best form to date when chasing home an odds-on favourite back on better ground with the 7f looking to suit here.

Started at big prices in his two starts so far and looked to show better form last time out upped to 7f on the AW at Newcastle. Makes his turf debut here although this looks another stiff task given his two runs so far.

Two runs so far on soft ground over 6f with the debut effort looking to be the better of the two efforts. Upped in trip now and on better ground but overall form doesn't match up with the principals here.

Ran in a juvenile race on debut that has a decent history and has already produced winners this year. Showed ability there and left the impression that he'll be better for the run and wasn't at all knocked about with the extra furlong looking sure to suit.

Forecasts

Footsteps Forever (5/4), Dontgiveuponbob (5/2), Myboyhenry (3/1), Here In The Dark (10/1), Hello My Sunshine (20/1)

Verdict

Just the five go to post but it looks an interesting little heat with Footsteps Forever setting the standard after her Pontefract win over 6f and looking as though an extra furlong would do no harm considering the way she finished. Dontgiveuponbob has the most experience and is worth another chance on better ground with both Here In The Dark and Hello My Sunshine capable of better. The race that MYBOYHENRY ran in last time is starting to work out well though and that run looked as though he had plenty of ability and could improve in a major way on his next outing for a yard going well with their juveniles of late.
