Meetings Perthshire For Business Tourism Handicap Hurdle

Off time: 20:00 | Winning time: 5m 49.2s

Uptown Funk²¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Callum Bewley| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 120

16/1

Useful hurdler but worryingly only has the one win in 20 starts to show for his efforts. Takes a drop in grade here but not seen out since January and has no great record fresh. Conditions fine, but others preferred.

Form: F/32503-

Prince Charmin'^p,t²⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Charlie Price⁽⁷⁾| T: Tim Vaughan| OR: 120

11/2

Much better effort when third over 20f here on latest start, statuoing on very well at the business end and looks well worth a crack at three miles now. Yard in great form too, and if he stays, has every chance here.

Form: 1FP/29-3

Pat's Oscar^p¹⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: R Johnson| T: G Elliott| OR: 120| C

7/1

Three wins to her name (all of which have come on heavy ground), may have needed recent effort after a break but she will need to come on for it. Top yard can never be discounted here, but others make a little more appeal.

Form: 6/804F-3

She'sasupermack³⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-11| J: Ross Chapman| T: I Jardine| OR: 119

6/1

Looked to be going places when winning a couple of races in the spring (including a handicap) but it all rather unravelled for her on her latest start and might be the handicapper already has her where he wants her. Conditions fine but needs more.

Form: 63-1126

Putting Green^p¹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-10| J: T Scudamore| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 118| CD

6/1

Back to form when a good winner over C&D last time out and handicapper sensible with a 4lb rise. Never the most consistent though, so a repeat of that no guarantee, and this is a tougher race to boot. Respected, but others preferred.

Form: 2P25-01

Spectator^t,v²⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 11-9| J: Alan Johns| T: Tim Vaughan| OR: 117

15/2

Good second over 20f here on latest start but is hard to win with (have to go back to beginning of 2018 for last win) and no guarantees this step up in trip is going to suit him. Yard going well but others makes more appeal all the same.

Form: 3552-72

Sleepy Haven¹⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 11-8| J: B S Hughes| T: J Candlish| OR: 116

7/1

Putting together a series of consistent, if unspectacular, efforts this spring/summer but did show this trip holds no fears on latest start and might do a bit better here. Good jockey booking again and not totally ruled out.

Form: 45-3343

Black Label^t¹⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-4| J: Mr J C Barry⁽³⁾| T: K Thornton| OR: 112

17/2

2m on the Flat at Dundalk earlier in the year, not done a lot since then but caught the eye in finishing fifth at Limerick earlier in the month and worth a try at this trip. Not that well handicapped but chances all the same.

Form: 0/1P08-5

Hastrubal¹¹¹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-4| J: Henry Brooke| T: A M Thomson| OR: 112

10/1

Stays well and threatened to win a decent handicap on more than one occasion for Henry Daly. Now in a new yard, that often do well with others castoffs, looks fairly handicapped and if ready after a break, is an interesting contender.

Form: F/22264-

Rainy City^p¹⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 10-9| J: Danny McMenamin⁽⁵⁾| T: J S Goldie| OR: 103| CD

20/1

Falling quickly after a series of very moderate efforts and best days seem well and truly behind him now. Pulled up on last two starts and hard to see him getting involved in a competitive race.

Form: 295-3PP

Put The Law On You^p²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-8| J: Craig Nichol| T: A C Whillans| OR: 106

16/1

Makes handicap debut tonight, found a ton of improvement on latest start to finish second over 20f here on latest start and may do better again upped in trip. Lightly raced and could easily progress, so cannot be ruled out.

Form: 4-32

Forecasts

Prince Charmin' (11/2), Putting Green (6/1), She'sasupermack (6/1), Always Tipsy (13/2), Sleepy Haven (7/1), Pat's Oscar (7/1), Spectator (15/2), Black Label (17/2), Hastrubal (10/1), Uptown Funk (16/1), Put The Law On You (16/1), Rainy City (20/1)

Plenty can be given chances on bits and pieces of their better form and this looks quite open. Putting Green doesn't often put two good runs together but will be a danger if he does, Put The Law On You looks a likely improver and money for Black Label would be interesting. But the two to concentrate on might be Prince Charmin', who looks ready for the step up to three miles after catching the eye here earlier in the month, and HASTRUBAL, competitive in races tougher than this for Henry Daly and now switches to a yard that do very well with these types. He's worth chancing, especially if there's a drop of rain around.
