Verdict

COSMIC OUTLAW got firmly back on track when opening his account at Kelso on his reappearance in October and a 5 lb rise looks manageable given he remains totally unexposed at the trip. Brandy McQueen seems sure to give another good account, with Newcastle-scorer Starlyte also well respected.
