        Verdict

        Good Luck Charm usually wins at least once a year and impressed last time when striding away to score on the all-weather. He has a leading chance on that evidence but is not one who usually notches back-to-back successes and is taken on with HEDGING. The top weight hasn't been on the ball the last twice but his overall profile gives him every chance being both a course winner and a scorer with today's promising apprentice in the plate. Good Luck Charm's stable companion Master Poet is also respected along with Silverturnstogold and Harlequin Rose.
