Richard Johnson is hanging around to ride IT'S O KAY for Olly Murphy. The mare must have been showing plenty at home as she started a short-priced favourite for her debut at Doncaster last month but couldn't find anything after being up with the pace. She can recoup losses though Paper Promise did everything right when scoring comfortably at Musselburgh and, if handling these testing conditions, has to be in the shake-up. Maebh showed the benefit of a promising start at Newbury when coming here and scoring over 1m4f and there's no reason why she shouldn't make further progress while Rococo Style, the only booked ride of Daryl Jacob, has run in decent company since making a successful debut at Southwell.
