Several interesting hurdle newcomers but LARK IN THE MORNIN will set a good standard for them to aim at if making the expected improvement on the back of his promising hurdle debut second at Punchestown. Ethical Diamond, Ndaawi and Mordor head the many likely types among the hurdle debutants, while Evening's Empire is also respected on the back of her Cork second.
