Only Joking wasn't stopping when scoring over 7f at Thirsk and likewise Grey Sensation when winning easily over the same trip at Newcastle. Karl Burke's charge could be the danger to SALATEEN, sure to find this easier than when failing to quicken in the Acomb Stakes at York last time having impressed earlier at Chester. When Will It End has gone up 3lb since finishing second over this distance at Salisbury while Percy Alleline has disappointed since making a winning debut at the same track and is no certainty to stay this far.
