Form & Verdict
Modest form on the Flat between June and September for Linda Perratt; however, she won over hurdles for Ian Williams at Southwell (2m4f, good) in March and it will be no surprise to see a good run now back over jumps; non-runner in the 3.55 at Ayr yesterday.

Few secrets left after 41 hurdles starts but back below her last winning mark again, and every outing so far this year has suggested that an extended run of races beyond 3m looks in order now; not without interest.

Just two runs over hurdles this year compared to nine on the Flat; his best hurdles form has come at Sedgefield but this is his first jumps run here and he's a player if reproducing the form of his good second at Sedgefield (2m1f, good to soft) early last month; has won over 2m4f there.
