Verdict

Despite the small field this looks a tricky opener as OUTRAGEOUS REQUEST had some decent form in the autumn, including a second to Knight Pass at Exeter. He was alongside recent Market Rasen winner Rowlestone Lad when falling at Taunton in November and, on 6lb better terms, is fancied to come out on top today despite a recent break. Clarion Call was placed at Taunton and Southwell last month and should be winning soon but stablemate Gap Of Dunloe, a winner on the Polytrack at Dundalk, may need his first run over timber.
