It's Only Fun (2/1), Bear Island (4/1), Bownder (5/1), Lever Up (13/2), Dream Illusion (17/2), Arcturus Flame (16/1), English Lady (16/1), Something Splendid (18/1), Queen Of Good News (22/1), Mini Mac (50/1)
IT'S ONLY FUN proved a different proposition when making a winning handicap debut at Musselburgh last week and, with further improvement on the cards, Jennie Candlish's charge is fancied to follow up under a penalty at the expense of Dream Illusion, who is better judged on her Newcastle effort having finished with running left last time. Bownder and Lever Up can fight out third.
