Only⁵⁰

1/3

Choicely-bred daughter of Deep Impact who has shown fair form when runner-up in maidens over C&D and at Naas, beaten only by a subsequent scorer on latter occasion 50 days ago. Has more to offer. The one to beat on form.

Form: 22

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Robbie Colgan| T: S Lavery

6/1

Thrice-raced filly. 28/1, good fourth of 9 in maiden at this C&D (good), suited by increase in trip. Off 127 days but worth considering.

Form: 87-4

Forecasts

Only (1/3), Gambe Veloci (5/1), Toriangel (6/1), Cara Susanna (12/1), Grant Wood (22/1), Theophilos (50/1), Gentleman Jimmy (66/1), It Aint (80/1), Destined To Rock (100/1), What About This (100/1), Jimmy Mcgill (200/1), Double Greatest (200/1)

ONLY possesses the best form on show and can open her account at the chief expense of C&D fourth Toriangel who should ensure Aidan O'Brien's choicely-bred filly doesn't have things all her own way. Joseph O'Brien's Caravaggio newcomer Gambe Veloci isn't without interest either and needs considering, especially if the market vibes are positive.
