Break My Soul (M)
[T]
Won mares maiden chase at Gowran in November. Good third of 20 in Grand Annual at Cheltenham (2m, good, 20/1) 25 days ago and merits serious consideration.

Has reacted well to blinkers on last 2 starts. Career best when winning 13-runner handicap chase at Gowran (2m, heavy, 12/1) 29 days ago, always holding on. Claims if the headgear continues to work.

Shuffle The Deck (G)
FAV
Promising type who has built a good platform for handicaps in 3 maiden chases at up to 23f this winter having won twice over hurdles last season. Very interesting handicap newcomer and the mount of Mark Walsh from the McManus quartet.

Harvard Guy (G)
Useful hurdle winner in 2023/24. Yet to reproduce that form over fences back from a long absence this season but there is still time for him to click in this sphere. Drops significantly in trip here.
