Only a handful of these make any serious appeal, with MORNING SOLDIER selected to go one better than on his hurdling debut over C&D just under 6 weeks ago. Sinbad le Marin is an interesting recruit for Willie Mullins so he's put forward as the main danger to the selection, while Calico, Teagarden Jazz and Libby are just a handful of others worth considering.
