JUST AN IDEA competed in much better company for most of last year and may well come good in this grade with headgear applied for the first-time. Rated 82, he should have the measure of both Atlanta Belle and Sea Tea Dea on these terms. The latter pair have both placed on the all-weather and make more appeal than Fiery Spice and Allegheny Bay, who produced only modest efforts at Wolverhampton on their respective debuts.
Allegheny Bay (IRE) 25-1 (8-13) Started very slowly, behind, some late minor headway, never on terms, 6th of 9, 10l behind Mr Minerals (9-3) at Wolverhampton 7f mdn stks (5) pol in Dec.
Fiery Spice (IRE) 20-1 (9-5) Slowly away, in rear, ridden over 2f out, never dangerous, last of 9, 8 1/2l behind Second Thought (9-5) at Wolverhampton 6f mdn stks (5) pol in Dec.
Just An Idea (IRE) 6-1 (9-5) Close up, ridden and headway over 1f out, faded inside final furlong, 4th of 11, 5l behind Victory Angel (9-5) at Doncaster 6f mdn stks (4) gf in Nov.
Atlanta Belle (IRE) 6-1 (9-0) Prominent, ridden over 1f out, faded inside final furlong, 6th of 10, 6l behind Rozy Boys (9-5) at Wolverhampton 5f mdn stks (5) pol in Nov.
Sea Tea Dea 3-1 (8-6) Chased winner, ridden inside final 2f, no chance with winner, weakened and lost two places well inside final furlong, 4th of 10, 9 1/4l behind Royal Opera House (9-1) at Chelmsford City 7f mdn stks (6) pol in Dec.
