Verdict
Its All For Luck has run very well on Turf all summer without quite getting there and makes her debut on the track. Landline completed a double in big fields at Tipperary and Navan but shot up the weights and didn't go so well on the latter track last time. Tidal's Baby has won once and been placed ten times on the all-weather though generally in minor company but CHICAGO SCHOOL (NAP) produced a very good run on his final start here last winter and came with a strong late burst to gain his first success last month. Due to adjustments he can actually race from a 1lb lower mark so has to be the choice to complete a double. Arlecchino's Rock is better over further and has changed stables and though Billyfairplay ran his best race to date here three weeks ago that was over the minimum and he faded close home.
