Best run for this yard when runner-up over 1m1f in a Leopardstown handicap last summer (soft); lost form after that and two runs this term well below best, visored last time in a claimer; drops in grade but remains opposable. |

Best run for this yard was when runner-up over 1m1f in a Leopardstown handicap last summer (soft); lost form after that and was well beaten on his seasonal return last month at Leopardstown; visor goes on and has been given a chance at the weightings but you'd like to see more positive recent form. |

Ran respectably in a couple of handicaps earlier this season; several less encouraging displays before winning a claimer for Paul Flynn at Ballinrobe last month; raised 6lb for winning a 0-60 handicap at Gowran last week on debut for Ado McGuinness; had a fairly hard race, but has a strong chance if fully recovered. |

Has raced exclusively on AW since two moderate efforts in opening maidens, including over C&D; improved form when second in a 10.5f maiden at Dundalk in January in first-time cheekpieces; they didn't have the same effect over the same trip in a handicap next time; others more likely. |

Took a step forward from previous form when running on late for a 3.25l fifth of 15 at Fairyhouse (7f, good) last time; mark unchanged but not sure this drop in trip will suit on the evidence of that last effort. |

Second to a clear winner in Killarney maiden last October and similar level of form on latest when chasing home a progressive sort (winner again since) over this trip in Leopardstown handicap last month; both those efforts on much softer ground, untried on ground this quick but big player if handling it, although draw a negative. |

Not the most consistent but landed a second win of the season at the Galway Festival (7f, yielding); 3lb rise for that not excessive but he's never raced over a trip this short; others make more appeal. |

Betting Forcast
16/1 Bill Silvers, 12/1 Bundle Of Interest, 25/1 Lahore Da King, 10/1 Java Wood, 8/1 Majestic King, 16/1 Navagio, 10/1 Rhythm King, 9/2 Shes Ideal, 6/1 Gloriously Glam, 8/1 Goofy Gander, 14/1 Yutori, 20/1 Unidos, 7/2 Mr Perth, 14/1 Merciless, 6/1 Cosmic Funk, 16/1 Aurora Mist, Green Kite, Faoladh, Suir Monad
Verdict
Bearing in mind the market support that came for MR PERTH at Galway, he may be well enough handicapped to win a race of this standard. Hampered at the start at Ballybrit, he may now turn the tables on Cosmic Funk who has a sound each-way chance from a low draw. In contrast, a high draw may complicate things for rivals such as the in-form She’s Ideal and dual course winner Rhythm King. C&D winner Gloriously Glam has a definite chance. [Alan Sweetman]
