Soul Asylum
Clearly held in high regard having cost £280,000 at the Cheltenham November Sale, SOUL ASYLUM gets the nod to make a winning start for Gordon Elliott at the chief expense of Heldam, who finished mid-field on his Rules debut at Leopardstown on St Stephen's Day and should last longer here. Begorra Man made a promising start to his career last season but may well need this outing.

Successful on sole outing in points (beat a good prospect) and shaped as if better for run when sixth of 12 in maiden bumper at Leopardstown (15/8 fav) 7 weeks ago. Should last longer here so needs considering for his top yard.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosLeopardstown2mYieldingBumper6/12- 1Begorra ManJ: Mr D. G.

Made an encouraging start to his career when fifth of 23 in hot maiden hurdle at Leopardstown on St Stephen's Day in 2024. 9/4, again ran well when second of 10 in bumper at this track (16f, soft) a couple of months later. May well need this.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosPunchestown1m 7f 211ySoftBumper2/10Leopardstown2mYielding (Good to Yielding in places)Hurdle5/23- 4Soul AsylumJ: Mr H. C.
