In depth
Verdict
Good Outlook has a decent racing weight and is the choice over Cameron Bridge, In Discussion and In The Frame to name but a few. This has an open look to it, but Good Outlook boasts a pretty consistent profile, and would perhaps have been closer to Phildari at Market Rasen had he not blundered three out. To his credit, Richard Guest's seven-year-old kept on going and should be bang in there at the finish again. Cameron Bridge has a lot more weight to carry and let his supporters down last time so is worth taking on, while In Discussion, a useful novice two years ago, will surely need this first run in 596 days. In The Frame may live up to his name here, as the Bangor runner-up will be suited by the step up in trip, and of the rest, Bee An Bee is worth a mention, but Good Outlook can take the prize.
