This shouldn't take much winning and MY BRUNETTE looks the part. Geoffrey Deacon's filly, a half-sister to three winners, made a promising debut when staying on steadily at Windsor in October and wouldn't need much more to get off the mark. Joys Delight looks her most serious rival as she has plenty of experience on the track and was only narrowly beaten into third in a handicap here last month. It's difficult to work up much enthusiasm for the remainder but Compton Brave was staying on over 7f at Kempton and can earn some place money.
