GR 2 | Hurdle | 2m 2f 25y
Starmount
STARMOUNT impressed when easily dispatching recent course scorer Kaka's Cousin at Wetherby last month and is narrowly preferred to Dan Skelton's Le Beau Madrik, who is 2-2 over hurdles. Lord Byron, the sole 4-y-o in the line-up, and Montemares have already shown they can hold their own in Graded company and may prove best of the remainder.

Successful on completed start in points and has taken well to hurdling, winning a pair of 2m Wetherby novices in the mud this winter. Fourth in the Grade 1 Formby at Aintree in between. The form of his second Wetherby success has been boosted and he holds leading claims with further progress likely.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosWetherby2mSoftHurdle1/12Aintree2m 209yGood to SoftHurdle4/6Wetherby2mSoftHurdle1/14- 1Le Beau MadrikJ: Harry SkeltonT: Dan Skelton2-211Age 55/22/19/4

Runner-up both bumpers and has looked a useful prospect when winning maiden/novice events at Newcastle since switching to hurdles.

Fairly useful form when runner-up on second of 2 Flat starts for Aidan O'Brien and sound start over hurdles for new connections, latterly finishing 4 lengths fourth in Grade 2 Finesse at Cheltenham. Should be more to come from a lightly-raced sort who wears first-time cheekpieces here.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosCheltenham2m 179ySoftHurdle4/10Exeter2m 161yHeavyHurdle2/4Navan1m 6fSoftFlat2/10Punchestown1m 30yGood (Good to Yielding in places)Flat5/13- 4Kosac D'oudairiesJ: Gavin SheehanT: Jamie Snowden531-121Age 69/19/18/1

Point/bumper winner who has struck twice over hurdles, seeing off the reopposing Red Oak by 1¼ lengths at Catterick (19f, good to soft) for latter win 38 days ago.

Made a winning start to his career in 19.5f Hereford maiden hurdle in November and followed up in 20.5f Market Rasen novice a month later. Lost his unbeaten record but advanced his form again when 7¾ lengths fourth of 6 to No Drama This End in Challow at Newbury over Christmas.

Runner-up twice in bumpers in Ireland. Filled the same position on hurdle/stable debut at Ascot in November and didn't need to reproduce that form to go one better over 2½m at Musselburgh in December. Good 1¼ lengths second to reopposing Kosac D'oudairies in novice at Catterick (19f, good) since.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosCatterick Bridge2m 3f 66yGood to SoftHurdle2/13Musselburgh2m 3f 171ySoftHurdle1/4Ascot1m 7f 157yGood (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle2/3Kilbeggan2m 3f 100yGood to YieldingBumper2/12Kilbeggan2mGood to YieldingBumper2/10- 10West Hill VerdeJ: Sean HoulihanT: Seamus Mullins98-5332Age 633/125/128/1

Runner-up on the first of 3 bumper starts and going the right way over hurdles without winning, finishing second of 13 in maiden at Doncaster (19.5f) last month.

Plenty of promise in bumpers and spearheaded a 1-2-3 for his yard in 2m course novice on hurdle debut in October. Hasn't really built on that when fourth on all 3 outings since and will need to advance his form if he's to provide his stable with back-to-back wins in this race.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosHaydock Park1m 7f 144yGood to SoftHurdle4/8Wetherby2mSoftHurdle4/14Cheltenham2m 87yGood (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle4/5Kelso2m 51yGoodHurdle1/13Kelso2m 51yGood to SoftBumper7/10- Non-Runners
