Race Tip

STARMOUNT (2) sets the standard having finished fourth in the G1 Formby Novices Hurdle over 2m1f at Aintree. Ease in standard to suit and rates a leading contender. KAKA’S COUSIN (1) resumed scoring a Catterick maiden hurdle attempting 2m3 1/2f on first run for Jonjo and A J O’Neill. Fitter now and a big threat. Main danger. WILLIAM YEATS (11) followed a Catterick defeat with a Kelso maiden hurdle sixth. Needs a lift as better than that and holds claims. Warrants consideration. HOURMAN (4) debuted with a 0. 8L Hexham jumpers flat fourth tackling 2m1/4f. Keeping fresh since and a switch to hurdles could bring improvement. Holds claims.
