Verdict
DECEMBER SECOND, a debut bumper winner at Ayr, ran a superb race in the championship bumper at Punchestown and can't be opposed. On The Meter was beaten a head on his debut at Worcester and ran well enough at Uttoxeter later to suggest he'll be found a race at some stage. The four-year-old newcomers My Footsteps, who has a speedy pedigree and should enjoy the conditions, and Say If I Can, who only cost 800gns, will need to be special to give the selection a race.
