      Verdict

      Though Footsteps Forever hasn’t run this year she had decent form as a juvenile last season so shouldn’t be dismissed out of hand. Sayem has struggled to take advantage of similar marks this term while Pride's Gold has only won at Wolverhampton so far, though has been placed on Turf. Fashion Theory won at Beverley in July but looks a few pounds too high now. CROTCHET is a pound worse off than when just behind Oriental Lilly over 7f here last month but a first try over a mile could bring about some improvement and Richard Fahey’s filly can turn the tables.
