Verdict

A low-mileage winner on the Flat, LARK IN THE MORNIN matched the pick of his hurdles form and may well have finished closer still but for a late error when third at Punchestown 23 days ago, noted finishing with running left. Open to further improvement, he's very much of interest in receipt of weight all round. Miss Pronunciation has returned a much-improved model and is a big threat in her hat-trick bid. Lazer Wolf is also in the mix.

  1. LARK IN THE MORNIN (GER)
  2. MISS PRONUNCIATION (IRE)
  3. LAZER WOLF (IRE)
