Maiden Stakes | Hurdle | 1m 7f 195y
Going: Soft
At The PostCrest Of Stars
An unsettled forecast may tip this in favour of hurdle debutant CREST OF STARS whose recent bumper success has been franked by the third winning at Cheltenham. He's narrowly preferred to Cueros, who merits plenty of respect back in a novice (under a penalty) but wouldn't be ideally suited by softening ground. General Briar completes the shortlist given he was running well when falling behind A Pai De Nom on hurdle debut and could go well dropped in trip.

Pitched in deep for debut in Cheltenham listed bumper. Had the run of race under a more positive ride and showed much improved form to win a Newton Abbot bumper (soft) on return (third a winner at Cheltenham since) and he makes plenty of appeal on first start over hurdles.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosNewton Abbot2m 167yGood to SoftBumper1/11Market Rasen2m 125yGoodBumper2/3Cheltenham2m 179ySoftBumper9/16- 3General BriarJ: Freddie GordonT: Chris Gordon26-F3Age 67/4

From a family his yard know well. Fair form to place on bumper debut and would have hit the frame behind Pai De Nom when falling on hurdle debut. Ran to a similar level when third at this track (20.5f soft) last time but may fare better under a positive ride down in distance.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosPlumpton2m 4f 116yGood (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle3/7Newton Abbot2m 5f 122yGood to Soft (Soft in places)HurdleF/6Plumpton2m 1f 164yGood (Good to Soft in places)Bumper6/7Fontwell Park2m 1f 162ySoft (Heavy in Places)Bumper2/7- 1CuerosJ: Brendan PowellT: Harry Derham12Age 59/4

Fairly useful on Flat in Jersey. Scored in impressive style on his yard/hurdling bow at Newcastle (16.9f, good) but was unable to justify support under more testing conditions when second in an introductory hurdle at Wetherby last time. Solid claims back in a novice under a penalty.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosWetherby2mSoft (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle2/9Newcastle2m 190yGood (Good to Firm in places)Hurdle1/9Les Landes1m 110yFlat1/8Les Landes1m 209yFlat1/6Les Landes1m 4fFlat1/6- 6Celtic QueenJ: Conor O'FarrellT: Tim Vaughan2537-Age 525/1

Best effort when in first-time tongue tie when third of 9 in bumper at Wetherby (16f, soft) in February. No chance in listed company subsequently and was well beaten on Flat debut when last seen in April. Had wind surgery since and needs to take a step forward to make a winning hurdle debut.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosKempton Park1m 1f 219yStandard / SlowFlat12/14Sandown Park1m 7f 216yGood to Soft (Good in places)Bumper7/9Wetherby2mSoft (Good to Soft in places)Bumper3/9Lingfield Park2mStandard / SlowBumper5/7Hereford2m 53yGood (Good to Firm in places)Bumper2/6- 8Suzy WoodJ: Caoilin QuinnT: Andy Irvine07F-3Age 680/1

Showed more than previously when picking up the pieces to finish a well held third in a 6-runner C&D novice on reappearance earlier this month.

Needed experience in bumpers and yet to show any ability over hurdles, finishing last on comeback at Stratford last month.

Modest on winner Flat (stays 1½m). Runner-up previous two starts in all-weather handicaps and since sold from Richard Hannon 6,000 gns later in October. Likely to be an outsider on stable/hurdle debut.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosSouthwell1m 3f 23yStandardFlat2/7Chelmsford City1m 2fStandardFlat2/8Nottingham1m 2f 50yGood to SoftFlat6/8Chelmsford City1m 2fStandardFlat5/8Lingfield Park1m 2fStandardFlat1/12
