Verdict

Kicksaftersix caught the eye at Exeter at the start of the year and is an almost certain improver but Paul Nicholls has probably found a good opportunity for recent acquisition OUTLAW PETER to open his account. He finished second at Navan in January when trained by Shark Hanlon in a race in which they came home at wide intervals. Haas Boy and Overall Majority are among newcomers worth a market check.
