      Verdict

      CHICAGO is no stable star but looks in a totally different class to his three rivals with experience and can finally get off the mark. Aidan O'Brien tried him over 1m4f at Gowran last month but he didn't appear to last out the trip and he probably came up against a really nice type in Ebalviyra back over 1m1f at Tipperary last time. Newcomers Harathea and Invincible Vince are well-connected though both are out of unraced dams and look as though longer trips will suit while Stuccodor appears to be the stable's second choice.
