Verdict
FOOTSTEPSOFSPRING finally took advantage of his tumble down the weights with a win over C&D in April and went in again over track and trip a fortnight ago. He's 4lb higher but has plenty to play with on his best form and can confirm running with Warden Bond, One Of Twins and Crystal Sky. Victorian Number has a shout off his current mark on the back of a second at Kempton with Storm Runner a length behind in third while Diamond Sunrise and Mac Tiernan should both have come on for their seasonal debuts.
