Six runners are set to face the starter for this seller but it looks to be little more than a match between Jinksonthehouse and Only If I Laugh, with narrow preference for the latter. The pair met at Bath last month with the selection looking a shade unlucky in going down by a length and a quarter to Mark Usher's filly. Only If I Laugh has every chance of reversing the form on the revised terms and, having shown the better form since that run, there is every reason to believe that he will do so. Alan Berry's Lavish Times is meeting the selection on 11lb worse terms than if it was a handicap but at least hails from a stable back in form now. Mark Brisbourne's Beaver Diva seemingly showed improved form when chasing home Mick Channon's Arfinnit at Ayr recently and rates the best of the remainder in a race that should go to Only If I Laugh.
