In depth
Verdict
Madam Mo certainly deserves a change of luck having been placed in six of her 11 starts on Turf. She was only beaten a length-and-half over a mile at Limerick last month and stays this longer trip. TOE THE LINE probably has more scope, however, and John Kiely's bumper winner can make it third-time lucky on the Flat after seconds at Gowran and Tipperary. New Regalia has had plenty of chances but still looks the pick of the remainder with Lions Charge lacking a recent run.
