      Verdict

      PEACE TERMS came up short by a neck when sent off favourite at Wolverhampton last time. Ralph Beckett’s filly was beaten by a horse rated 74 on that occasion and that looks strong enough form to land this. I Was Only Joking never looked like catching the winner when runner-up over 6f at Wolverhampton last month but will likely improve over this extra distance while Vale Of Kent is a 360,000gns purchase and half-brother to a Breeders’ Cup winner and preferred to Michael Corleone of the newcomers.
