Body And Soul will be more at home at this level having been beaten in a Group 3 sprint at York. She'd won at the same track before that when Lucky Beggar was well beaten. Rene Mathis ran well for third at the July meeting here when ahead of Secretinthepark and Robot Boy but both Midnight Flower and Gold Hunter look more progressive. INTIBAAH has been absent since May having gone close in a Listed race at Ascot on his reappearance. A couple of subsequent winners have come out of the race and Brian Meehan's charge gets the vote as he may well have improved during the interim.
