Verdict
STARMOUNT, who was a creditable fourth in the Grade 1 Formby at Aintree, made the most of dropping in class when he coasted home by 15 lengths at Wetherby. That impressive display suggests he is above average and this could provide him with the biggest win of his career so far. Le Beau Madrik is likely to be on the premises after a couple of victories at Newcastle. However, Montemares was far from disgraced in the Challow at Newbury and he might be a bigger danger.
Expert View Verdict
LE BEAU MADRIK has looked potentially top class when quickening away from his fields in effortless fashion on both hurdle starts to date and is fancied to continue his unbeaten run here. The form of his debut victory has worked out well and he should be able to confirm placings with Gaelic Rover even on these revised terms. His biggest threat may come from the experienced The Last Cloud who is a thorough stayer at the trip and will appreciate the drop back from 3m. His penultimate run in the Formby probably just about sets the standard in this line up. Kosac D'Oudairies is 2-3 and his only defeat has been boosted at the top level so if he gets a decent test down in trip he can also play a part.
