Punchestown, 13:30 - Back Break My Soul @ 4/15.00

Seven-year-old mare Break My Soul has proven form over fences in heavy conditions when convincingly beating Qualimita, The Great Nudie and Langtry Lady on chasing debut at Gowran Park earlier in the season. She has failed to make an impression in deep races won by Kala Conti and Romeo Coolio, respectively, in her latest runs, but may be able to fare better in this field.

Having already shown promise over fences on her return to action in November, and in only her fourth start over the larger obstacles, Break My Soul could be capable of showing further progression. She was able to finish second to Kitzbuhel in a Grade Three over hurdles last term, before finishing fourth to Lossiemouth and State Man in respective Grade One contests at both Aintree and Punchestown, and clearly possess ability on a going day.

Punchestown, 14:30 - Back Binge Worthy E/W @ 11/112.00

Equipped with first-time cheekpieces, Gordon Elliott-trained Binge Worthy makes the most appeal from the Cullentra team at the prices, ahead of Lucky Lyreen and Patter Merchant, who both make the shortlist.

The eight-year-old has winning form in softer conditions and put in a promising effort when a close third to Soloman Lane at Navan when last seen. The point winner stayed on well enough in the closing stages to suggest a return to a staying trip will suit, but he's unexposed and capable of further improvement too, in only his fifth start over fences under Rules.

The £160,000 purchase runs in the hands of Danny Gilligan as he bids to add to his pair of hurdling wins. His dam Carrigeen Lonicera was a point winner in testing ground, who also stayed three miles under Rules, and she is out of three mile performer Carrigeen Lily, also the dam of multiple stayers most notably Cheltenham Gold Cup hero Minella Indo.

There should be plenty of further improvement to come from the son of Walk In The Park and this challenge could well suit. At odds of 11/112.00, Binge Worthy warrants each-way appeal and may be able to make his presence felt.

Punchestown, 15:00 - Back Heads Up @ 2/13.00

John McConnell-trained Heads Up put in an uncharacteristically disappointing effort when 6/42.50 in the delayed Cheltenham Grade Two on Trials Day last month, having previously finished a creditable second in extremely tough conditions to No Drama This End there in November.

Last year's Champion Bumper runner-up made a successful start over hurdles at Listowel on reappearance in September, beating L'Evangeliste by two-lengths as the 8/131.61 favourite. He remains unexposed at this level in only his fourth hurdling start, as is entitled to show further progression if he can bounce back from his latest run.

The son of Blue Bresil has shaped with potential as a bumper horse during his debut campaign, finishing fourth to Windbeneathmywings at Listowel before chasing home Colcannon at Galway, then landing a 24-lengths success over Shesakindofmagic at this venue. He also finished a decent second to Kalypso'chance at Navan prior to lining up at odds of 33/134.00 at the Cheltenham Festival under Sean Bowen.

With more to give as a hurdler, the six-year-old holds solid claims under Danny Mullins in this field. He has coped with testing ground in the past, therefore shouldn't be hampered by the softer conditions, and should make his presence felt.
