Lark In The Mornin is our selection for this deep 23-runner Galway contest over 17f on good ground, preferred to Yashin at the head of the ratings on a progressive profile and a fitness edge rather than pure figures alone. Yashin, just a pound better on our figures, together with Smooth Tom and Sirius, make up the main dangers. Confidence in the verdict is low given how tightly this field is packed, but Lark In The Mornin's overall profile gets the vote.
