Verdict
DON'T JOKE has a speedy pedigree and was in touch for most of the way at Bath. Champagne Supanova made a reasonable start at Windsor but didn't show improvement at Nottingham so one of the newcomers should provide the most threat. Dark Side Division is related to several minor winners but may prefer further unlike the Dandy Man filly Fleeting Princess, whose dam is from a speedy family. Taste The Nectar is a half-sister to three winning milers in the USA and she's likely to need a longer trip.
