Another tricky handicap but All Body And Soul won a handicap over the track and trip from 5lb lower before finding soft ground and a longer distance against him at Galway. FRENCH MIX was having only her fifth start when turning a handicap here into a procession last week and, though hit with a 15lb rise, can show she's better than a 72-rated filly. Her stable companion Ruby Gates also likes it around here and has run in much better company since scoring over the course and distance in April. Mademoiselle Penny almost made all here last month and has to be respected from the same mark while Hague Convention ran easily his best race at Bellewstown last time and makes his all-weather debut from a very lowly mark.
