FINDING YOUR FEET has had just the three runs and is difficult to gauge. But there's a distinct possibility that he's been let in lightly on his handicap debut so he gets the vote in this modest affair with the proviso that the market doesn't turn against him. Bathwick Man could figure if responding to first-time blinkers while Guards Chapel wasn't beaten far on the Polytrack last month and looks on the way back. Sun Quest and Osmosia are both previous course and distance winners and others to consider but Mount Vesuvius is still creeping up the weights, despite not winning, and Presenting Me isn't progressing.
