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.

Jigoro (G)
[B]
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.

[T]
Made a winning chase debut at Sligo in October. 7/2, creditable 6¼ lengths third of 6 to C'est Ta Chance in Grade 3 novice at Thurles (21.5f, heavy) 31 days ago, needing lesser test. Back down in trip for handicap debut and in the mix.

Karamoja (M)
[T]
Left first 2 efforts over fences behind when easily winning 9-runner maiden at Thurles (2¼m, heavy) 31 days ago. Can improve again now moving into a handicap for top stable.

7/2, career best when winning 9-runner handicap chase at Navan (17f, soft) 15 days ago, his fourth success in his last 8 completed starts. This is much tougher.

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.
