Formscan - Despite just half a dozen runners lining up, there is no shortage of nice types on show and slight preference is for OUTLAW PETER. Paul Nicholls' charge was a bloodless 19-length scorer over 2m5f at Exeter, following on from his second in the Persian War, and a repeat of either effort could see him take the beating, with the extra yardage unlikely to be an issue. Weveallbeencaught stayed on into third when pitched into a Grade 2 on his hurdling bow over shorter at the November meeting here, while Thomas Mor is two from two over timber and shouldn't be dismissed lightly.
