Verdict

MONTY'S STAR came home only fourth of 7 on his sole outing in bumpers, but he's very much bred to excel over obstacles being a half-brother to smart hurdler/top-class chaser Monalee, so he gets vote to make a successful hurdling debut after 10 months off. The Willie Mullins-trained pair Shanbally Kid and Aime Desjy are feared most.

  1. MONTY'S STAR (IRE)
