In depth
Verdict
ALL CLASS, who landed a gamble on the Flat at Navan in March and followed-up at Gowran, has shown nothing over hurdles or fences so comes here on the mark of a plater. Her Flat mark has gone up 24lb so she looks thrown in here. Lady Rocco has yet to win but has run well here and made a very promising comeback behind Getaway Queen, who goes earlier, at Wexford and Rachael Blackmore is a very positive booking. Michael's Pick is a winner between the flags though is unplaced in six starts over timber but Nuttoridge showed his first sign of ability at Downpatrick and further progress can see him involved. Some Joke has shown nothing in testing conditions but should be noted in the market on her first start on quick ground.
