Racing Post verdict

Third-party

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.
