Verdict
ALL BODY AND SOUL (NAP) completed a track and trip double earlier in the year and was having his first start since March when finding 1m4f just too far at the Galway Festival. He should be spot-on for this and looks the one to be on. Jan Van Eyck has won here and at Wolverhampton and doesn't look badly treated but Maskoon has been racing over much shorter trips and his last victory came over a mile on this track in November. Minot Street has a very good record here but hasn't run since scoring at Wolverhampton in December while Maknificent has struggled since being raised 12lb for her victory at Leopardstown in June. Park Row just touched off Zorba The Greek over 1m2f here in June and though slightly worse off is more likely to stay the extra.
