This isn’t much better than the seller Imbucato won here last time though the latter was beaten by Joyful Dream over 7f here before that with Limerick Lord further behind. But GOOD LUCK CHARM makes most appeal having won at Lingfield before finishing ahead of Harlequin Rose when beaten only a neck over course and distance. Gary Moore’s charge gets another chance ahead of Cristal Pallas Cat, who scored over track and trip on his latest outing, but African Showgirl’s recent success came in Jersey and this is tougher.
