Form & Verdict
Runner-up on all three point-to-points and again on rules debut in 3m Cork maiden hurdle in January, staying on well behind an odds-on shot who has since won a Grade 3 novice; third and fourth have also won since so form looks strong and leading player here on ground he handles.

Prospered after second to Western Fold on chase debut at Tipperary last May; hat-trick included small-field 3m Grade 2s at this venue and Navan; took time to warm up and left with plenty to do in the Brown Advisory, made late progress to finish fourth behind Kitzbuhel; towards the back when unseated at the 15th (Chair) in the Grand National.

J: Daniel King

T: Connor King

A first-season novice won the 2022 Grand National when unraced beyond 3m1f and this Irish challenger (who's one year older) bids to repeat the feat; hat-trick this season included two small-field Grade 2s and when his winning sequence came to an end it was in the Grade 1 novice at Cheltenham Festival, where some slow jumping in the early stages left him with plenty to do but he made late inroads to finish fourth; he still looks capable of better and the longer trip could suit.

J: Daniel King

Progressive over fences, winning soft-ground 3m Grade 2s at Punchestown in November (beat Koktail Divin) and Navan in February (by 6l from The Wallpark) on his last two starts; has a better chance on form for his two-horse trainer than double-figure odds suggest; one to consider each-way.

Winning hurdler over 2m4f on heavy for Gavin Cromwell last season; pick of four attempts chasing on latest when outstayed late on by a well-handicapped rival in 2m7f Limerick handicap at Christmas (soft-to-heavy); 3lb higher but should go well.

Ran twice in bumpers before promising hurdles debut fourth at Navan in December; has chased home clear-cut winners both starts since, latest over 3m at Thurles; major player in what appears a weaker maiden.

J: Harry Cobden

T: Gordon Elliott

9yo who is lightly raced for his age; he needs to produce more than he managed at Leopardstown and Downpatrick last month on his first two chase starts but he wears first-time headgear today and Gordon Elliott's horses are always well worth a second look at Perth; could have a big say.

Consistent if frustrating in maiden hurdles before winning a 2m4f rated event at Fairyhouse early last year (soft); a latecomer in chasing; faded late in the Leopardstown event in which the much shorter-priced Strutter flopped.

Consistent in maiden hurdles before winning a 2m4f rated event at Fairyhouse early last year (soft); disappointed on handicap debut at Gowran; made no impact over 3m at Fairyhouse on his belated seasonal debut; latecomer to chasing now at the age of nine; can run well fresh.

Wexford specialist with both of her wins coming there, the most recent of which was in May off 81 (2m1f, good); again ran well there last time when a 3.5l third (2m1f, good to yielding); remains 9lb above last win but she is in good form

Second reserve; couldn't take advantage of a 7lb lower chase mark here last month when a close third of 12 (2m, good); returned to hurdles at Cork last time when a well beaten fifth (2m1f, good); she likes this track with both of her wins coming here so not discounted if getting a run.
