Verdict
There's very little form to go on here and though CHANCE IT has run poorly in his last two starts he looked a likely future winner when runner-up at Killarney and this could be his day. Ciaoifsin performed with credit in bumpers and has shown the occasional glimmer of ability over timber while Sizing Julie could prove best of Jessica Harrington's trio as she was in touch when brought down on her debut at Gowran last week. Usurp cost 125,000 euros and, though well beaten on both starts to date, will be expected to do better.
