Ran out on sole point-to-point start and has looked less than straightforward in two bumpers. Yard have a 20 percent strike rate in bumpers over here but it would be a surprise if he added to that tally.

Cheap purchase who was soon beaten when coming under pressure on debut. Unshipped his rider soon after jumping off at Hexham three weeks ago and looks hard to recommend.

4/5
Full-brother to Listen And Learn who won five races for Jonjo O'Neill and Lilywhite Gesture who has won twice for this trainer. Represents a yard that did well at this fixture twelve months ago and arrives on the back of a game effort on his debut here a month ago. This looks an easier race and he will be at short odds to go one better.

12/1
Bought unraced from Godolphin for ÂŁ6,000 and worrying to see headgear going on so early. Showed some improvement from a modest debut last time and faces a sterner test in this.
Fourth foal with the dam being a winner in point-to-points. Yard are 0-25 in bumpers for the last five seasons and she has plenty to find with Arizona Bound on their meeting here a month ago.
Recorded the second slowest time of the day when picking up a Grennan point-to-point on quick ground. The form does not amount to much and she was picked up relatively cheaply for ÂŁ20,000. Stable do well around here and she still looks the chief threat to the favourite.
Daughter of Victory Note out of a dam who was a winning point-to-pointer. Stable are just 1-20 in bumpers at this track.

Midnight Legend mare out of a dam who liked the ground hock deep and won three races over hurdles/fences. Tailed off on debut and hood now fitted.

Forecasts

Arizona Bound (4/5), Grageelagh Girl (9/4), Another Day Done (10/1), Strong Team (12/1), Onahandshake (16/1), Ginny Brig (25/1), Shesthebusiness (33/1), Archies Bet (50/1)

Verdict

Gordon Elliott rarely leaves a Perth fixture emptyhanded and ARIZONA BOUND looks his best chance of a winner this afternoon. His debut second is the strongest piece of form on offer and it will either an above-average newcomer or a major improver to deny him. Grageelagh Girl looks the most obvious threat as the winner of an Irish point-to-point but that was an ordinary race won in a slow time.
  1. Arizona Bound
  2. Grageelagh Girl
  3. Strong Team
