104 Expert View: Never in it from off the pace beaten 9 1/4l in a handicap at Gowran Park last time; effective 2m, needs sound surface; in moderate form.

SAINTE LUCIE won over further at Cork, but she has the speed for this trip having won her maiden hurdle at Punchestown in December 2024 over a fraction shorter. She has to find 4lb on official ratings with Break My Soul, who return to hurdles after pulling up over fences at Fairyhouse, but may be better suited by conditions. Dunsy Rock is the unknown quantity after winning her maiden at Fairyhouse, but Gordon Elliott thinks she is up to it and she could run into a place.
Break My Soul is officially the best of these and it would be no surprise were she to make a winning return to hurdles, but the 5yo SAINTE LUCIE looks to be improving and could really kick on now she's got her head in front again. She was sent off favourite for a Grade 1 as a juvenile and also performed well in the Triumph Hurdle. Royal Hollow is third choice back hurdling having made a winning chase debut 25 days ago.
