An interesting finale in which the cheaply-bought Blanchland Abbey, a full brother to smart 1m2f Group 3 winner Stotsfold, has to be worth a second look. Lookout Mountain represents powerful connections and is from the same family as useful hurdler/chasers Ardglen and Cailin Alainn but, as the ground will probably have been cut up by earlier races, the experience of KAKI DE LA PREE could be vital today. A £115,000 purchase, he won a point-to-point in Ireland in November and can build on that here.
