Verdict
ALL CLASS has won on the Flat, over hurdles and fences with all six victories coming in her last ten starts. She's still on a very lenient mark considering her successes and Danny Gilligan's claim is a bonus. Storm Steps had Magi Gal eight lengths behind when runner-up at Fairyhouse but the latter didn't get the run of the race and there may not be too much in it this time. Waiting tactics may have been overdone on Five Zeros at the Curragh on Saturday, her first attempt at this trip, and she's expected to go close but Arctic Blaze is 1-24 with her only success coming at Dundalk.
