All For Luck will not be much of a price but, in a race that lacks any real strength in depth, the Nicky Richards-trained gelding is hard to oppose and he gets the vote ahead of Sharkeys Dream and Somedo Somedont. The last mentioned looks to be going the right way and has solid place claims under ground conditions that suit. Berlin Bunker showed only a glimmer of ability on his hurdling debut at Sedgefield last month and a better bet for the forecast is Sharkeys Dream, who represents a yard in form and is improving with each start. All For Luck was outclassed in Grade 2 company at Wetherby last time but a reproduction of that effort and earlier form should suffice for him and he gets the vote.
