Verdict
West Is Best was racing on heavy going for the first time when scoring over the track and trip last month for which he's been raised 6l. He's unlikely to have the same conditions here and ALL ABOUT ALFIE (NAP),who was 6l behind in third, has a fine chance of reversing the form on this ground as he won here on good going last May. Miss Mcilroy has never won in 27 starts and been beaten off this mark on numerous occasions while Taggle Og did better when dropped to 2m at Wexford. Cadawill has won on the course and over the trip and has dropped to a very lowly mark.
