Verdict
Coolmore-owned Lookout Mountain is the first foal of a dam related to National Hunt winners and the betting may provide the best guide as to what is expected on his debut. However, NABURN was well supported on his recent introduction at Sedgefield and gave the winning favourite Howaboutnow a race. He'll have benefited for that experience and gets plenty of weight from the penalised Lord Wishes, who made all when scoring on his racecourse debut at Ayr in January. Alan Swinbank's charge gets the nod as Flamingo Cay and Carole's Spirit have some catching up to do to get involved.
