Hillstar gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners, including useful hurdler/chaser Line Out and bumper winner/fairly useful hurdler Toe The Line, stayed 2½m. One to consider.

17/2

The Lookout Man¹¹¹

Weight: 11-10| Age: 4

T: M A Gunn J: Non Runner

Forecasts

The Lookout Man (7/2), The Last Line (4/1), San Franco (4/1), Mint Approved (4/1), Secret Soldier (13/2), Lord Ffrench (17/2), Union Alley (17/2), Diamond Tipp (11/1), Bonnebosq (16/1), Windbeneathmywings (22/1), Couldntmakeitup (28/1), Pavilion End (40/1), No Time Lost (50/1), Saigon Steel (50/1), Goodmancon (66/1)

SECRET SOLDIER has a few successful siblings, including a bumper winner, and he represents a top yard, so he gets the vote ahead of The Lookout Man, who sets the standard based on his second at Thurles on debut 111 days ago. Union Alley is another interesting newcomer.
