Break My Soul^t¹⁹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Keith Donoghue| T: Ian Donoghue| D

6/1

Out of her depth in Punchestown Champion Hurdle when last seen in May but had posted a personal best at Aintree previously and looks a likely contender on chase debut.

Crescent Moon⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Kieren Buckley| T: G P Cromwell

66/1

Fairly useful hurdler. Couldn't build on promising chase debut when last of 7 in novice chase at Down Royal (19.9f, good to soft) 8 days ago but warrants respect nonetheless.

Form: 0415-47

Diamond Nora³¹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Michael Kenneally⁽⁷⁾| T: D Queally| D

14/1

Fairly useful hurdler. Latest win in hurdle at Limerick in November. 5/1, creditable second of 9 in handicap hurdle at Tramore (16.8f, heavy), running on. Off 10 months. Market check advised on return/chase debut.

Form: 001/812-

Lantry Lady^t²⁰¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: Darragh O'Keeffe| T: H De Bromhead| CD

5/6

Useful winner at 16f over hurdles. Below that level on sole start in this discipline at Naas in January but remains with potential and hails from a yard in fine form.

Form: 1147/47-

Qualimita^t²³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Jack Kennedy| T: G Elliott

9/1

Fairly useful hurdler. 6/4, bit below form second of 16 in novice hurdle at Thurles (15.8f, good to soft) 23 days ago. Improvement required on chase debut.

Form: 2325F-2

The Great Nudie³⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Sean Flanagan| T: C Bowe| BF

11/4

Dual winner over timber who posted creditable second of 5 in minor event hurdle at this course (16.4f, soft) on return 36 days ago. Goes chasing now and must enter calculations.

Form: 51265-2

Whatcouldhavebeen¹⁹⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: Aidan Kelly⁽³⁾| T: J P Fahey

50/1

Didn't jump well on chasing bow at Kilbeggan (19.9f, good to soft) in April but was capable of useful form over hurdles so can't be ruled out on second attempt in this sphere.

Forecasts

Lantry Lady (5/6), The Great Nudie (11/4), Break My Soul (6/1), Qualimita (9/1), Diamond Nora (14/1), Whatcouldhavebeen (50/1), Crescent Moon (66/1)

Preference is for LANTRY LADY, who goes well fresh and likely has more to offer over the larger obstacles. Break My Soul and The Great Nudie may provide the chief threat.
