Verdict
Small Steps has some improving to do on her Fibresand debut but this is such a poor handicap she may well be good enough on her first start since September. However, it's also less competitive than the recent races that ISHIAMIRACLE has been placed in and Phil McEntee's filly gets the tentative vote here to finally open her account. Clarkson is another dropped in class and could make his presence felt, while Songbird Blues produced a better effort when going close in similar company at Wolverhampton last time but it's hard to make a serious case for any of the others.
