Verdict

WAY OF STARS is an interesting contender towards the foot of the weights, with this opening hurdle mark potentially very workable based on his Flat ability. Minella Yoga, Wilstar and Chris Gordon pair Kocktail Bleu and Cosmic Connection head the many possible dangers in a cracking novice handicap.
