OUT DO won a Listed contest here in 2015 when rated 109 and looked to have been given a chance by the assessor at Ripon on his comeback where he was doing his best work at the finish behind stable companion Intisaab. He's been left on the same mark and can return to winning ways. Muntadab, who finished a close second at Ripon, had the benefit of an earlier run when narrowly beaten by today's rival Wentworth Falls and collateral form just gives the edge to the selection. Udontdodou is at the bottom of the weights though hasn't quite proved himself at this level unlike Lexington Abbey, who was only just touched off by Intisaab in the Coral Sprint Trophy here in October, form that puts him right in the picture. New Bidder landed a very tough handicap at the Curragh in September and, if the rain has the expected effect on the ground, he'd be in the mix.
