RACING POST VERDICT

Outmaster was an impressive debut winner at Newton Abbot, pulling clear by 30 lengths, and a powerful yard with a strong record in this race sends him out in first-time cheekpieces with his course-and-distance form untouched; the form may not be strong but the manner of that performance marks him as one to follow. Coumeenoole is the main threat, having won twice over hurdles this season and shown progressive form, most recently in dominant fashion for a trainer in top form. Glenary, who was placed last time between the flags, rates the pick of the remainder on debut under rules. Outmaster is our selection.

Rain cap will be all the rage in the betting, but again when isn\'t it. was 2/1 beaten fav last time out and essentially is 4lb worse off here, Im going to take an eachway gamble on BULLINGTON BRY switch stables last time out and well supported in the market, the 1st time blinkers were slapped on and seemed to do an ok job, I would prefer this horse to potentially get a bit more cover, he will stay 7F/1m and has the speed to tuck in if needed. the race is not great and if Jessica Macey can squeeze a bit more out of this horse on his 2nd run he could go close, of a career low marl and 4 places on offer at 15/2 happy to have an eachway play on this.
