Won this race last term and better form this spring, all on good ground; dead-heated for first at Kelso (2m5f) last time, which has pushed him up 3lb to his highest mark since 2024 but he looks much more likely than most of these to give his running; should be thereabouts.

SR 78 suggests ability but reflects a stiff ask in this field.
Upped to 3m for a last-gasp win in 20-runner race at Down Royal in October; respectable fourth of 18 under James Smith at Punchestown (again 3m on good to yielding) last month confirms her in serious calculations.

Won three times (2m2f-3m) in June-September last year, off today's mark over C&D on last occasion; out of form on last four outings, however, and a major revival is needed on this second start after wind surgery; tongue-tie (last used in 2024) returns.

Got up on the line at Kelso (3m2f) in May 2025 on second start for Paul Robson, opening her rules account; made the running when well beaten behind Maillot Blanc in this race last year, however, and not seen since; has changed hands and now has first run for Adam Nichol, with a tongue-tie (tried twice in 2024) restored.

This race in 2024 is among his three Perth wins from 23 visits; latest win was last July over C&D again from 2lb higher than today and that was his second run after a break, the same scenario which presents itself today; needs a second look but others are preferred for the win.

0-20 over hurdles but won here (3m, soft) on chase debut last October; three major backward steps this spring prompt caution on this return to hurdling, with cheekpieces (tried often as hurdler last year) reinstated.

Tried chasing last autumn and did not show much back over hurdles in the winter on last two outings; 4-20 overall as a hurdler, with all four wins in March-May 2025, but there have to be questions at the moment.

Won a bumper in May 2024; 0-15 as a hurdler for Gillian Boanas but had his share of seconds and thirds, including over 3m; £12,500 sale in March was quickly followed by wind surgery and, although usual headgear is dispensed with, new trainer Dan Skelton has something to work with; one to note.

Partial revival on chase debut here (3m, good) in April but she did not shine at Cartmel one month later; has plenty of form to make this look an attractive mark but there are doubts on this return to hurdling.

This is her handicap debut and a major step up in trip, but there have been signs of only a little ability; tongue tied on latest start and a hood (tried four starts back, pulled up) is reinstated.

13-race maiden, with nine of those races over hurdles; did little on chase debut last time (after six months off) but several bits of hurdle form last year, including over C&D, give her a place chance.

0-17 as hurdler but plenty of minor honours, including C&D; needs to improve upon last month's fourth at Hexham but that was his first run for 400 days, so he may well build on that; case can be made off career-low mark.

Maillot Blanc (SR 78, 12-0) is the highest-rated horse in the field and most critically showed a return to form with a win last time out — the rightmost digit in his form string '2832-1' confirms he goes to post on the back of a victory. At 9 years old he carries top-weight of 12-0, but this is a low-SR field where the gap between him and the next group (Leader Wing SR 77, Creadan Grace SR 75) is meaningful, and on Good ground over 2m7f the stamina required suits a horse that stays well. Gordon Elliott's Creadan Grace (SR 75) is the main threat from the shortlist, but a pulled-up run last season and a 4th last time out suggests she is not at peak, whereas Maillot Blanc arrives with the confidence of a recent win.
Each-way alternative: Leader Wing.
Main danger: Creadan Grace — Trained by Gordon Elliott and rated SR 75 off a favourable 11-9, Creadan Grace has class in her favour from her Irish background and if she bounces back from that pulled-up run she is well weighted to outrun Maillot Blanc on the day.
