Verdict
HARLEM SOUL arrives on the back of a moderate effort but that was the case last year when winning this off a higher mark and Syd Hosie’s charge should go close again. Kingofthewest placed in a lower grade chase here a fortnight ago and makes more appeal than I Shut That D'or and Sheldon while Gaelic Park is a maiden hurdle winner debuting over fences on his reappearance.
