In depth
Verdict
My Valentino went close over 7f at Musselburgh recently but has yet to win in 28 outings while Betty Grable has only won once and that was on the all-weather in January. FOOTSTEPSINTIME travels over from Ireland after placing at Gowran and he should go close with Izzy Clifton taking 7lb off his back today. He’s preferred to compatriots Pacolita and Blue Whisper but Mywayistheonlyway may finish closer having his second start after a wind-op.
