Verdict
Most of these are solid-if-exposed sprinters at this level but OUTRAGE is the exception and the gelding is taken to strike for a second time in just four starts for the up-and-coming Daniel Kubler yard. A Windsor maiden success was followed by a close third in Bath handicap company last season and he sets out for the new campaign off a workable mark - hopefully he will ready to roll after a break of nearly 250 days. Flash City houses a totally different profile but he's a solid handicap sprinter at this level, should be cherry-ripe after two starts and has a course and distance victory to his name - he seems sure to go well with trip and ground fine. Shackled N Drawn also demands respect off top weight along with recent Pontefract scorer Coiste Bodhar.
