Broken Soul usually travels well in his races and has some smart form to his credit though he's also disappointed on occasions and may need testing conditions. BLAIRS COVE has run in two strong bumpers and though reappearing after a break looks the type to make good progress this campaign and gets the nod as Colwinston, who produced a very good run on this track in May, hasn't replicated that effort. Runforbob started a short-priced favourite on his debut in April but found heavy ground against him then finished mid-division in a lucrative event at Punchestown a few days later so he can do better.
