IT'S ALL A JOKE sets a decent standard and has to be the selection, although there is a question mark regarding his participation as he was due to run at Leopardstown yesterday. Should he take part, this represents a marked drop in grade and he'd prove hard to beat for a top combination. Stable companion Daliyah was a beaten favourite last time when disappointing so Case Stated would be the choice if the selection doesn't take up this engagement. He's shown enough in a couple of maidens to be a major player down in grade. Fox Dream heads the weights but has won under his young apprentice and merits short-list inclusion after a fair effort here latest.
