Break My Soul^t¹⁸²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Keith Donoghue| T: Ian Donoghue| OR: 137| CD

3/1

Ran to a useful level when making a winning chasing debut over this C&D a year ago and good effort sent handicapping over fences when third in the Grand Annual at Cheltenham in March. Shaped best when runner-up back over hurdles in May and she's a major player on return.

Form: 4723P-2

Golden Joy^t²⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| J: Jordan Gainford| T: C Collins| OR: 130

12/1

In first-time hood, returned to form when runner-up in listed handicap at Leopardstown in February. Behind when falling at the last at the Punchestown festival on his final outing for Gordon Elliott and last of 5 finishers in a point since, though he could bounce back.

Form: 7/P42F-5

Indiana Jones^p,t¹⁵⁴

Age: 10| Weight: 11-0| J: Josh Williamson⁽³⁾| T: M F Morris| OR: 125| D

13/2

Losing run is mounting up (including over hurdles) but ran a big race to finish fifth in the Topham at Aintree in April. Backed that up when filling the same position in listed handicap at Punchestown, though he was tailed off when last seen in June.

Form: 0P055-7

Maidenstreetprince¹²

Age: 9| Weight: 10-11| J: Patrick M O'Brien⁽⁵⁾| T: C Byrnes| OR: 122| D

4/1

Long-standing maiden chaser but was placed in back-to-back handicaps to end last season, third over this C&D in March. However, after a spin on the Flat he didn't run much of a race back chasing in novice at Galway (2¼m) 12 days ago.

Form: 33F32-7

Drumgill²⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 10-4| J: Daniel King| T: J P Ryan| OR: 115

5/1

Kept busy this season but it's now fifteen runs since his last win nearly a year ago. Never on terms when sixth of 8 in handicap at Cork (2¼m) last time and others more persuasive despite his much reduced mark.

Leave In Secret^t¹³

Age: 7| Weight: 10-0| J: Harry Sexton⁽⁷⁾| T: T Gibney| OR: 107

3/1

Dual hurdles winner. Still a maiden over fences but went like the best horse at the weights when runner-up to a next-time-out scorer in handicap at Wexford (19f) in August. Has disappointed both starts since so needs to get back on track.

Form: 743266

Mount Frisco¹³

Age: 7| Weight: 10-0| J: Peter Smithers⁽⁵⁾| T: J P Ryan| OR: 106| C| D

12/1

Ended a long losing run when landing handicap at this course (19f) in February. Followed up back over hurdles at Clonmel but ended the campaign on a low-key note over fences and was tailed off at Galway 13 days ago on return.

Form: 3633F-0

Forecasts

Leave In Secret (3/1), Break My Soul (3/1), Maidenstreetprince (4/1), Drumgill (5/1), Indiana Jones (13/2), Golden Joy (12/1), Mount Frisco (12/1)

Making her handicap chase debut, BREAK MY SOUL produced her best effort over fences when third in the Grand Annual at Cheltenham and, with a good record fresh, she is taken to add to her C&D victory a year ago. Golden Joy was a good second at Leopardstown in February and is feared most for his new yard.
