The form of the juvenile event in which MORNING SOLDIER was second at Naas in February is very solid (Jazzy Matty and Byker, fourth and third respectively in the same race, went on to fill the first two places in the Fred Winter at the Cheltenham Festival) and he is presented with a good opportunity to open his hurdles account. This sharp track will suit Thomas Mullins' charge, who may have most to fear from Shajak, an interesting recruit from the Flat. Baltic Bird is also shortlisted.
