Verdict
Panther Soul had just one run on the Flat, winning a Dundalk maiden at 50/1 a year ago. Now with Willie Mullins, he commands great respect but so too does THE RED MENACE. Noel Meade's charge won bumpers at Sligo and Listowel in the style of a potentially smart performer and has fine jumping pedigree. Hyperdrive is well suited by quick ground and finished runner-up in a huge field at Navan last time so his experience should count while Tenth Amendment has won on the Flat since finishing a close second to the useful Gold Seal in a Roscommon maiden hurdle. Dundalk winner Winston Wolfe made a promising start over timber at Wexford and should be winning over timber before long.
