When you say the going will be soft, that isn't soft as in european soft, i'm guessing.

Judging on what you have said, we will probably call that good ground. It should suit most of the European's on the card. Although Admiralofthefleet would probably prefer it firmer.

he would appear to be very optimistically placed.

also take a look at Mostacolli Mort. his claim to fame is that in his ninth start he was able to clear the first level allowance condition beating the likes of Frank The Barber, so obviously the next step would be to ship across country into a GR1.

That I do not know as far as a comparsion but there will definitely be a cut in the ground. I know that HY means heavy, does GS mean good soft?

GS means exactly good/soft..... it will be yielding at best if not soft on Sat.
