It's All A Joke won at Lingfield last month and was placed off today’s mark at Wolverhampton last week but it could be the turn of JOEGOGO (NAP) again in this. The latter has slipped steadily down the weights since winning early last year and a recent length defeat over course and distance suggests a return to winning ways is imminent. Wiff Waff has had plenty of chances since scoring at Yarmouth last summer but came up short again when returning a losing favourite at Newcastle but novice winner Princely slips further down the handicap and will be winning for Mick Appleby before long.
