Outlander has ‘huge chance’ in Flogas Novice Chase at Leopardstown

Outlander and Pont Alexandre form two-thirds of a formidable three-pronged assault by Willie Mullins on today’s Flogas Novice Chase at Leopardstown.

The champion trainer has saddled five of the last eight winners of the two-mile-five-furlong Grade One and has strong claims of enhancing that record this weekend.

Outlander made it two from two over fences in a Grade Two at Limerick over Christmas and has a “huge chance” of completing the hat-trick, according to the trainer’s son and assistant, Patrick.
