Verdict
OUTLAW PETER’s only failure to date came in the hugely-competitive Lanzarote at Kempton in January when the going was much softer than ideal. Despite conceding plenty of weight, he should put these in their place without too much trouble. There may have been something amiss when Hardy Fella pulled up at Lingfield in November and he’ll probably be contesting the minor placings with the even less-exposed Wideeyedandlegless.
