Race preview
Harlem Soul is 2lb lower than when landing this prize 12 months ago, but this year's efforts have been modest. I Shut That D'or has an Exeter mishap to bounce back from, while Kingofthewest offered more over C&D recently, but a chance is taken on the fitness and jumping of GAELIC PARK. Charlie Longsdon's seven-year-old signed off his first hurdling campaign with a wide-margin Warwick victory and, as a half-brother to Chantry House and The Last Day, is expected to come into his own in this sphere.
