There is nothing in his point-to-point form that would suggest Escape Footwear is anything special but the fact that Willie Mullins has taken him on board suggests much better is expected. OUTWIT has a Flat pedigree and is from the family of Twice Over. Providing the ground remains good she can make a successful racecourse debut. Simiel has a more conventional jumping pedigree and will be better suited by tackling obstacles in time as will Mount Marcus Baker, who is a half-brother to a winner between the flags.
