Perth Racecourse Racing & Events Handicap Hurdle

Hadn't shown any benefit for joining Dan Skelton but he put that right when stepped back up in trip at Bangor (2m7f, good), where he won pretty much as he liked after attracting heavy support; 9lb higher this time in a better race but clearly a likely contender.

A winner the last time he contested a Class 3 handicap (on reappearance) and he was boxing on when beaten a little under 10l in a deep Uttoxeter handicap last time out (2m7f, soft); looks sure to stay this far and has the assistance of Sean Bowen.

Low-mileage 7yo who was very well backed at Carlisle three weeks ago and ran out a ready winner (3m1f, good to soft); raised 6lb but appeals as a horse with more to offer.

After a brief stint over fences he got back on track in beating 14 rivals over 3m at Windsor (soft) under a positive ride; however, there was a further reminder of his inconsistency when he dropped away tamely at Haydock in February; what does heighten interest is a pretty good record when fresh.

Well beaten/pulled up over fences on his last two starts but has each-way claims on the pick of his form over hurdles this season and Gregor Walkingshaw gets a tune out of him.
