28/1

Nathaniel half-brother to 3 winners, including very smart hurdler Taglietelle. Fair handicapper himself on Flat (stays 2m), shaped as if better for run on stable debut at Dundalk (2m) 4 weeks ago. Yard having good spell and market should guide on hurdles bow.

Modest form in trio of starts on the Flat, looking rusty on back of 5 months off/yard debut when twelfth of 14 in maiden at Dundalk (10.7f) 36 days ago. Best watched making hurdles debut.

40/1

Made plenty of appeal on paper and strong in betting but he ran no sort of race when twelfth of 13 in juvenile hurdle at Fairyhouse (16f, heavy) on NH debut 10 days ago. However, represents a leading stable and surprise where he not able to leave that well behind.

Forecasts

Pinot Gris (6/4), Lark In The Mornin (2/1), Pigeon House (9/4), Barrier (16/5), Gooloogong (9/2), Club Manager (28/1), Duke Silver (40/1), Someone's Wish (80/1), Karl Des Tourelles (100/1), Getting There (100/1), Wing Back (125/1), Kobalt St Georges (125/1), Dalmatic (150/1), Rauzan (200/1)

A lightly-raced winner on the Flat, LARK IN THE MORNIN quickly returned to the pick of his hurdles form when third in a juvenile event at Punchestown 33 days ago and, open to further improvement, he rates the one to beat. Barrier and Pigeon House head up the dangers, whilst Duke Silver and Gooloogong are others worth keeping an eye on.
