The Game Is A Foot only ran on Tuesday and was well beaten. Lettheriverrundry seems to take one step forward and two steps back and has become expensive to follow but there are possibilities about Doc Carver, only beaten half-a-length at Bangor last month, and Apache Song, having only his third run in a handicap. SHANROE SAINT is still a maiden and could have done without a 3lb rise for finishing third at Leicester but he gets the vote in a trappy heat.
