Formscan  - WAY OF STARS wasn't disgraced when finding two smart juveniles too good on his hurdling debut at Exeter in December and any improvement could enable a breakthrough victory in this discipline. The biggest threat may emerge from Western Cross, who arrives on the back of a respectable third-placed timber bow at Hereford, although Babyken, Circle Of Secrets and Marhaba Prince are feasible alternatives.
