POLITICAL POLICY (NAP) is much better on the all-weather and has a poor strike-rate on Turf but he's so well handicapped that he'll take some beating. Gavin Cromwell has snapped up the services of the in-form Conor Orr and his claim can make the difference as his mount was just beaten at Limerick last month. Coolfighter has won 15 races in a long career, including over timber at Tramore last month, and he's another very well handicapped. Minnie Dahill has only won over hurdles though hasn't been in bad form on the Flat but Eight Till Late is better known as a chaser these days. All Body And Soul, three times a winner on the all-weather, is still a maiden on Turf though he's dropped to a fair mark.
