FormscanBy Gary Carson - LARK IN THE MORNIN has shaped nicely in a few maiden hurdles this season and may be able to step up here. The Soldier Hollow gelding chased home the impressive Mighty Bandit first time up before meeting trouble in running when sixth at Leopardstown. Last time he kept on nicely when third to a smart sort in Highwind at Punchestown and may have gotten closer but for a mistake at the last. With no penalties to carry he gets a nice pull of half a stone from the filly Nara. She won a Listed hurdle in her native France and as a result has to give weight to the field. The daughter of Jeu St Eloi shaped nicely on her Irish debut when fourth in a strong Grade 3 contest at Fairyhouse and should improve from that. She may turn the tables now with the third-placed horse then, Eagle Fang.
