Verdict
OUTSIDE INVESTOR is the selection to land this staying handicap chase following some pleasing efforts while Fooilsh Myth and the Irish raider Artic Island are others to consider. The selection's latest effort on an unfavourable easy surface was pleasing taking into account he was unproven on the ground. He is 13lb higher than his last winning mark but this looks a good opportunity to get back on a winning trail given the quick ground that is likely to prevail. Foolish Myth has uninspiring form figures but is the type that is open to plenty of improvement. Arctic Island returned from a break to put in a pleasing effort at Killarney but a 15lb higher mark looks rather harsh. Le Forezian and Pebese have shown snippets of form that bring them into the equation.
