OUTLAW PETER, runner-up to the smart Three Stripe Life in a Navan bumper, won a Worcester bumper on his debut for Paul Nicholls. He hasn't quite made the expected progress over timber but has had wind surgery after breathing difficulties last time. Foxinthebox has mainly disappointed since beaten a nose in an Aintree bumper a year ago but Kilfilum Woods, narrowly beaten in an Irish point-to-point, will be better for his run at Huntingdon for Paul Webber. Thai Terrier won three times on the level for Mark Johnston.
