JOSEPH O’Brien enjoyed a terrific week with his select National Hunt string at the Punchestown Festival and will bid to maintain that excellent jumping run this weekend, with his Cheltenham Festival winner Lark In The Mornin confirmed to make his return.

The impressive Boodles Juvenile Handicap Hurdle scorer is an intended runner in Saturday’s Pertemps Network Swinton Handicap Hurdle (3.15) at Haydock, a premier handicap worth £80,000.
