Verdict
This depends on the fitness of FOOTSTEPSINTHERAIN. The seven-year-old is very well in though he hasn't run since April of last year when he made all over this trip at Kempton. That came after a long absence so hopefully he'll be ready to do himself justice. Dutiful Son arrives in top form having landed a course and distance handicap last week when Bridge Builder was behind. He has a big weight here but is dropping in class so looks an obvious threat. Strategic Heights, a regular winner on the Polytrack at Dundalk, didn't run well in a Southwell claimer on Monday and has never won over a trip this far while stable companion Haraz has never won in 29 starts though takes a significant drop in grade.
