Race preview
ALL CLASS sprouted wings to land a gamble-and-a-half at Navan last month and can defy her 10lbs penalty. The subject of a running and riding enquiry at Dundalk on March 5, ALL CLASS showed vast improvement when upped in trip to 1m5f at Navan and is worth following again from her 58 rating - albeit you won't get 66/1 today. William Of Wykeham, a half-brother to 2,000 Guineas winner Golan and Derby runner-up Tartan Bearer, could be the danger despite lacking a recent outing. William Of Wykeham has progressed to be a useful staying hurdler and while beaten from his basement flat rating at Navan last October, looks the type who can win a flat handicap. Colin Keane's mount Nudge The Judge has yet to win but was narrowly touched off at Killarney last July and reappeared from a long layoff when running well at Navan 12 days ago, from which she can improve.
