In depth
Verdict
Itsallaboutluck has placed on the all-weather but his yard remains out of sorts and he makes his Turf debut, as does Lady Magda. Andrew Balding doesn’t run many in this grade so Herodotus is worth a second look and a case could also be made for Brown Eyes Blue but WEBUYANYHORSE, who has been resenting the Polytrack, has the standout form in this on his close-up fifth at Newmarket last summer. Chichloui wouldn’t need to be anything special to figure on debut.
