Broken Soul's second to current Sky Bet Supreme Novices' Hurdle favourite Melon here suggested he was a certain future winner but he flopped on heavy ground at Naas a fortnight ago. He's likely to be a warm order here but conditions will be just as testing and he's passed over. Harold Peto has made steady progress and there was plenty to like about his second to Justmemyselfandi here in January so further progress should see him involved. Political Theatre wasn't too far behind in that latter event and has more to offer while Gettysburg Address found three miles taxing his stamina at Thurles after showing better form in earlier starts over this trip. YOUCANNOTBESERIOUS looks as though he should be suited by a test of stamina on heavy ground and should get both here. He looked just tapped for pace over slightly shorter at Naas after a couple of fine efforts over this trip and can take this for Enda Bolger.
