Hasn't built on a Down Royal maiden victory from last year so far this season. Put in a couple of good efforts early in the season but showed plenty of promise when second of 17 at Navan earlier in the month over 5f. Heavy ground a concern.
Won three times for Kevin Ryan in the UK before joining this yard. Two runs so far in Ireland started with a promising effort at Listowel before maybe finding 1m beyond her at Limerick. On a competitive mark so should play a part.
Winner last time out when not un-backed in a Curragh 7f maiden in August following two solid performances at the same track. Going the doubt here with no soft experience and a speedy, quick ground pedigree.
Back to form with a fair third to Ducky Mallon at The Curragh over 6f on good ground in August before finishing last of 19 at Navan when a mixture of the ground and the draw may have been the reason for deplorable run.
Over a year since her last win but handicap has slid to just 1lb higher than that mark now. Lone win came in only start at this course and she handles these conditions well so every chance of a good run.
Generally races over 7f but in this ground she has appeared stretched by it a couple of times lately. Ran well in last four starts and off same mark as latest third at Cork she looks sure to go well.
Had a really good, progressive summer but handicapper may have caught up now and looked less happy with cut in the ground last twice. Life looks a bit tougher now.
Maiden of a dozen races but has placed five times. Ran one of best races to date at Dundalk on the AW when second last time out but inconsistent on turf and others make more appeal.
First time out win now a distant memory with 15 subsequent defeats. Back to that winning mark now and not inconvenienced by soft or heavy going so reasons to be optimistic again.
Two cracking runs since switched to handicaps. 1L fourth of 30 at the Curragh followed by 3½L fourth of 20 at same venue. Softer ground likely here but should handle it major player if she does.

There has been plenty to like about the efforts of ITS ALL FOR LUCK in her two handicap runs to date, finishing fast into fourth twice in big fields. Off bottom weight here and with a smaller field to contend with she looks capable of gaining a first success. The consistent Fair Game is certainly a contender with this step back in trip maybe bringing about the slight improvement needed afters several placed efforts lately. Truffles is now back to a mark she is capable off and returns to the scene of her lone victory.
