J: James Bowen

T: Mickey Bowen

Launched chasing career with two small-field wins in June (2m6f/2m4f, good) and held every chance before unseating rider on latest outing; may not be ideally suited by the forecast rain but might still be on the upgrade and could plausibly have untapped potential over this new trip.

Won three in a row over C&D (good) in early part of last season and subsequently made the frame in three Graded novice hurdles; absent since pulled up in Kelso Grade 2 in February but will be dangerous if back on song for this Perth return.

Won three in a row at Perth last May-September (2m, good; two of them handicaps) and has run with credit in defeat in Graded races on last three starts, the first two over 2m/2m1f (good to soft) and the latest at 3m (soft); he might not be far away.

Merely mid-division in the Morebattle at Kelso (2m, good to soft) in February having been backed into favouritism; however, he's been a promising novice this season and is capable of better than he showed last time; not written off up in trip.

Lightly raced 6yo who made it two wins in a row (good/soft) when scoring on handicap debut over C&D in December; only sixth of 14 behind Hot Fuss at Windsor (2m, soft) last month but a 3lb drop, Toby McCain-Mitchell's 5lb claim and the return to Kelso could all be positives; possibilities.

Clear second to highly progressive winner at Hexham (2m4f, heavy) in December and returned to form for 9l win in three-runner race at Ayr (2m4f, soft) last month; has also shown promise on good to soft ground; up in grade today but he's in good hands to continue to progress; respected.

Low-mileage 7yo who won a 2m maiden hurdle here last season; disappointed when upped to 2m7f at Newcastle in January but remains just 1lb higher than when clear second to a next-time-out winner at Hexham (2m4f, heavy) in December.

J: Derek Fox

Last run too bad to be true but had been consistent in novice/maidens and the previous third at Musselburgh (3m, good to soft) came in a strong race; the potential is there to be competitive off this mark on handicap debut.

Runner-up on first three hurdle starts (2m4f/3m, soft/good to soft) before third of five in strong novice at Musselburgh (3m, good to soft) four weeks ago; suspicion his limitations may again be exposed today but he's receiving weight all round and might not be far away.

Well held behind William Tell and Nadia's Boy in a 2m beginners' here in June; no match for Charlie Luciano upped to 25.5f at Kilbeggan latest; this trip more suitable but he's 0-7 over fences now and needs to find more to get his head in front.
