FANCY FOOTSTEPS can foxtrot off with the last though Bomber Command and L'Hirondelle are worthy of respect. Clive Cox's filly appreciates plenty of early pace on and there is a strong likelihood of it here. Expect to see her held up before delivering a late burst down the stretch. Bomber Command won an apprentice handicap last time out. He is arguably well treated on some of his earlier form. L'Hirondelle was tried in eyeshields last time out but those have been removed today. Mangham has tended to produce his better efforts as this time of the year so a watch of the market is advised. Emperor Court is capable though inconsistent. Implication was easy to back at Newcastle though that didn't stop her dotting up on that day. Northern Spy has a modest draw though hails from a yard that are in form. Having considered the alternatives, we are with Fancy Footsteps.
