Now well handicapped judged on peak efforts, but his form during the last 12 months lacks substance; pulled up in the Grand National last time on his return to fences.

SR 107 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at .
Good ground is key to him, though good to soft is acceptable; after signs of a revival at the Cheltenham Festival he duly delivered in a competitive 2m4f handicap at Haydock, winning cosily despite narrow margin of victory; the 4lb rise seemed generous and when beaten at Uttoxeter he bumped into the talented Glengouly on a good day; all his best form is at shorter, so stamina would be the principal concern.

SR 120 suggests ability but reflects a stiff ask in this field.
Has enhanced her good strike-rate over fences with back-to-back wins at Newton Abbot (2m5f) and Bangor (3m; again on good); it was harder work last time after a 6lb rise and she now has another 5lb to contend with, though last time was her first go over this far.

Back from 193 days off when a 16l fourth to Somespring Special at Newton Abbot (2m5f) and ran as though that race would bring him on; that was his best effort yet since leaving Emma Lavelle, for whom he was competitive off higher marks; trip/ground fine.

SR 108 suggests ability but reflects a stiff ask in this field.
Seeking a hat-trick in this race and on the back of a seventh course success in April when he dead-heated over this trip; not handicapped out of it after just a 3lb rise, for all that he's never defied this high a mark in the past.

SR 126 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.
Only 1-20 over fences, the win coming in the 3m Mayo National in 2024 (good ground); finished a fine second in the Galway Plate that summer but he's been underperforming for a while now and belatedly tries a tongue-tie.

SR 105 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at .
Made it 5-12 over fences when readily taking care of two rivals over a similar trip at Kelso a month ago (good; made most); only 3lb higher but without Jack Power's 5lb claim, so at this level he's probably in need of his best form yet.

SR 122 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.
Career bests on the RPR front in his last two races, winning at Kelso (2m5f) and close up at Aintree (2m4f; again on good); could run well, though a nagging concern that he didn't appear to stay 3m when he tried it once before (at this track).

Won the Edinburgh National over an extended 3m7f at Musselburgh in 2023 and 2025 (both good to soft); has not recaptured his form in his last three races and now returns from further wind surgery; 6lb out of the weights.

Statuario (SR 126) is the highest-rated horse in the field and arrives on a career-best form line of '01681-' with the '1' representing his most recent completed run — a win. Carrying just 10-10, he has a genuine weight advantage over top-weight The Real Whacker (SR 107, 12-0), meaning he gets to express his superior SR while being unencumbered by the burden that negates the top-weight's chances. At 11 years old he is a veteran, but Mickey Bowen sending him here from Wales signals strong intent, and chasing form over 2m7f-plus on good ground suits a staying chaser at peak confidence. The '681' sequence shows he had a mid-season dip before finding his feet again, and the latest win confirms he is back on track.
Each-way alternative: Walk On Quest.
Main danger: Walk On Quest — Walk On Quest (SR 122) is only 7 years old — the youngest in the field — arrives on a recent win ('26P2-1'), carries a featherweight 10-2, and Lucinda Russell & Michael Scudamore are a formidable Scottish yard who will know Perth's unique track demands intimately, giving him a meaningful course-knowledge edge.
