POLITICAL POLICY has been running well on quick ground all summer on the Flat and over hurdles and found the going too soft back on the level at Galway. Go Another One has been progressing nicely and made all over 2m4f at Perth ,though this is tougher. Cartwright won a Listed contest last season though that was on heavy going and he disappointed when well supported in the Galway Hurdle. Babbling Stream didn't appear to last out over 2m6f at Killarney though it was probably his poor jumping that was the cause but Eight Till Late reverts to hurdles in excellent form after a victory on the Flat at Leopardstown followed by another fine run on a return visit
