Soul can get it right with blinkers back on

SUMMER SOUL, who made no show at Ballinrobe a week ago, is napped to land the At The Races Hurdle at Punchestown this evening.

Dermot Weld's gelding trailed in a distant 10th of 15 behind Middlemarch then, but is is hard to accept that performance at face value.

His previous outing over flights was at the Galway Festival back in July, when Summer Soul showed all the right qualities to beat one of his main rivals now, Serve Time, a length over two miles.
