LOOK OUT LOUIS was performing in better company on Turf during the summer and ran better than his finishing position suggests on his all-weather debut here in October. He can get the better of Tomily, who ran a cracking race for a 100/1 chance in a Class 4 handicap here last month and would be an obvious threat with a repeat. Fancy Footings has never run here but wasn't beaten far on the surface at Wolverhampton last time while Tathmeen was nowhere near his best here last month after looking a likely future winner in his previous two starts. The veteran Lucky Lodge is perfectly capable of adding to his seven track victories with his rider's claim to aid his cause.
