This feature race may go to Ireland with the promising LARK IN THE MORNIN (13) winning by 2L the 2m Fred Winter Handicap Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival in March. Leading player set to follow up. AFADIL (4) is consistent. Produced a solid 1.25L fourth tackling the 2m G2 Limited Handicap Scottish Champion Hurdle at Ayr and holds every chance. Stablemate RARE MIDDLETON (12) was a decent fifth at Plumpton before a strong neck second attempting a lower class 2m1f handicap hurdle at Cheltenham. In the mix. TINTINTIN (8) won that race at Cheltenham and now bids for a hat-trick. Makes for plenty of appeal. GIN COCO (2) and MR FREEDOM (10) both went well contesting a competitive 2m Plumpton handicap hurdle and might feature.
