Filly was as good as ever when scoring at Wolverhampton six days ago, she will have to build on that again carrying 6lb penalty back here.

Keep Dreaming⁸⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: J P Shinnick⁽⁷⁾| T: L Fowler| OR: 53

Not much to shout about in three career starts so far. Makes little appeal and vast amount of improvement needed here.

Piper Bomb^t⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: T P Madden⁽³⁾| T: A McGuinness| OR: 53| C| D

10/1

Course winner that has also won over this trip. The daughter of Dandy Man has hit the frame on just the one occasion from five starts over C&D. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals.

Winner at Galway last summer off a mark of 71; regressing on turf this season but makes AW bow off a lowly perch as a result. Market should reveal plenty.

Forecasts

Footsteps At Dawn (3/1), La Derniere Fois (6/1), Nisior Donn (13/2), Tribal Path (9/1), Red Avenger (10/1), Piper Bomb (10/1), Plane Tree Fairy (12/1), La Novia (12/1), Rinty Maginty (12/1), Lady Savanah (12/1), Everyhouronthehour (14/1), Little Camacho (14/1), Boughtinthedark (16/1), Raffaello (25/1), Clonville (33/1), Keep Dreaming (33/1), Primadonia (33/1)

Footsteps At Dawn was at her best winning at Wolverhampton last week but her 6lb penalty makes things a good deal tougher back here in what looks a better race. Nisior Donn and Little Camacho are both on workable marks if bringing their best stuff while any money for handicap debutante Plane Tree Fairy would take the eye. Former C&D winner LA NOVIA is a better performer on this surface and might be up to giving Leanne Breen a second course winner in five days from a mark 7lb below her January winning benchmark as she reverts from turf to the Polytrack for the first under this handler.
