Race preview

OLDSCHOOL OUTLAW can land a valuable pot in Gordon Elliott's quest for a first trainers' championship. Runner-up at Cheltenham last month, the Walk In The Park mare had a number of these rivals in behind. Almost certainly inconvenienced by the drop back in trip on that occasion, the six-year-old should relish this longer distance. A well-beaten second behind Oldschool Outlaw here in February, Place De La Nation got much closer last time. Another who enjoys a thorough test, she would have strong claims if this turned into a war of attrition. Zanoosh looks a gradual improver and could have yet more to offer.
