Verdict
The Coolmore-owned LOOKOUT MOUNTAIN is jumps-bred and landed the odds in a bumper at Ffos Las on his racecourse debut in heavy ground. He'll be fancied to make a winning return on his hurdling bow but won't get things all his own way. Utopian won a bumper in good style at Fontwell earlier this year while Dunlough Boy showed promise on his first start over timber when runner-up at Worcester last month. The latter should be thereabouts again and Oscar Magic is another bumper winner worth a second glance. Johnny Red wasn't disgraced at Wincanton last time considering it was his first race for over two years and he could make the frame.
