THE OUTLAW SPIRIT

- BY GARRY OWEN

OUTLAW PETER (2.50) can plunder a competitiv­e Hillhouse Quarry Handicap Chase at Ayr.

Paul Nicholls’ bay recorded a career best when brushing Flegmatik aside at Kempton.

The gelding jumped well so can deny a reasonable 5lb penalty for his trainer.

DOYEN DU BAR (1.20) can give the trainer another boost in the Remus Oumo Hurdle.

The gelding stayed upwardly mobile when defeating Livin On Luco at Taunton and can cash in back over two miles.

Nicholls can add the GS Group Handicap Hurdle with DON’T TELL SU (4.30).

The gelding was better than ever routing Victory Club on return at Wincanton.

The six-year-old can do plenty of damage in this sphere so can cash in on a fair mark.

Dan Skelton can hit back in the maiden hurdle with SHAKEYATAI­LFEATHER (1.50). The mare really got her act together when second to Wyenot at Kempton.

That is respectabl­e form so the five-year-old can open her account in a decent contest.

The trainer can also claim the Thistle Cabs Hurdle with CATCH HIM DERRY (2.20).

The six-year-old improved again as a stayer when second to Gwennie May Boy at Bangor. That race is working out extremely well so the gelding can land another strong handicap.

Skelton can bag a treble with THEFORMISM­IGHTY (3.20) in the Coral Handicap Hurdle.

The gelding reaped the benefit of wind surgery when slamming Anytrixwil­ldo at Market Rasen and is a sure-fire improver in handicaps so can deny some useful rivals.

RATH GAUL HILL (3.55) can rise to the challenge in the SEKO Novices’ Handicap Chase. Sam Drinkwater’s bay built on some fine efforts when caning Duhallow Tommy at Newbury. The six-year-old scored with plenty in hand so can shrug off a 7lb hike for his shrewd yard.

LIHYAN (5.00) can extend Rebecca Menzies’ run in the closing conditiona­ls’ hurdle.

The six-year-old ran another stormer chasing home Welsh Charger at Musselburg­h.

The gelding remains fairly treated so can regain a winning thread after a short break.
