10/1
Outpaced and always in rear on debut at Pontefract in August (6f soft), and whilst the winner Beatbox Rhythm went onto land a valuable York nursery and a Newcastle Conditions Stakes, this filly has plenty to do absent since on her AW bow.

5/6
€55,000 daughter of Helmet who sets the standard having finished a runner up on each of her last two starts. Beaten 4½L by Vale Of Kent (winner since) over C&D last month, but was 1¼L in front of the third; the recent Wolves winner Michael Corleone.

3/1
Ran to a similar level of form on both of her starts so far, but never really involved over this trip at Wolverhampton latest. The jury remains out regards her best trip, but this is a weak race, and she has a top jockey aboard.

10/1
Sepoy filly who shaped well enough on debut over C&D in December (6+L fourth to Crown Walk). Evidently didn't stay the longer trip next time, so interesting to see how she goes back over a more suitable 7f.

13/2
78,000 gns daughter of Acclamation who showed promise on debut when placed at Wolverhampton in early January (6f). However, very disappointing next time at Lingfield (finished last of six), and needs to bounce back over a longer trip.

Forecasts

I Was Only Joking (5/6), Make Magic (3/1), Wide Acclaim (13/2), Miss Milla B (10/1), Dowitcher (10/1)

Verdict

The Richard Fahey trained I WAS ONLY JOKING sets the clear benchmark on the strength of her most recent efforts, with her latest start over C&D franked subsequently by both the winner Vale of Kent (a stablemate of Dowitcher) and the third Michael Corleone. She rates as the pick in a moderate contest, but with her stamina just a slight question mark, wouldn't be one to be going overboard about at relatively short odds. Of the remainder, Make Magic is probably the pick with slight question marks associated with a couple of the other runners.
  1. I Was Only Joking
  2. Make Magic
  3. Miss Milla B
