Manimole is burdened with a double penalty for earlier wins while Bella Civena made a winning debut over timber back in March and is also penalised. Seeyouinmydreams is preferred to Politacus, Telepathique and Birdhouse of the bumper winners but BREAK MY SOUL will likely attract plenty of support. She cost £290,000 after winning an Irish point-to-point and debuts under Rules having joined Nicky Henderson.
