Christmas Party At Perth Racecourse Standard Open NH Flat Race

Off time: 17:27 | Winning time: 4m 9.60s

Old Jewry¹²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Callum Bewley| T: Miss L A Perratt

9/1

Pedigree nothing to shout about, placed in a couple of small point-to-points last season and is a rare runner under jumps rules for yard more associated with the Flat. Others make more appeal.

Form: 2P45-

Method Madness³⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 10-11| J: B S Hughes| T: S Curling

11/8

Related to a few winners, and is a half-brother to useful 2m6f hurdle/chase winner Whoshotwho. Solid introduction at Killarney last month, excellent jockey booking and if handling the deeper ground here, looks one of the more interesting ones.

Form: 5

Allthatglistens⁴⁵⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-5| J: Alain Cawley| T: D Bourke

11/1

Only had the one start for Paul Nicholls before joining current yard, ran respectably without threatening at Wincanton in May 2018 but worryingly not seen since then. Can only really be watched here after such an absence.

Form: 2/0-

Dream Pioneer⁶²

Age: 4| Weight: 10-4| J: R Johnson| T: G Elliott

7/4

Well-related filly is going to want much more of a trip in time, but made a perfectly acceptable debut at Downpatrick in June and will know much more today. Yard are 29% with their bumper runners here and this could well be another winner for them.

Form: 6

Rule 4

Rule 4 applies to all bets - deduction 10p in the pound

Forecasts

Method Madness (11/8), Dream Pioneer (7/4), Flos (13/2), Old Jewry (9/1), Allthatglistens (11/1), Solway Molly (16/1)

DREAM PIONEER could be another one for the Elliott bandwagon, which rolls into Perth on a regular basis and usually takes a couple of prizes home with them. She'll know a lot more this time around and the booking of Richard Johnson, so often on their winners here, gives another hint that better is expected today. Fellow Irish raider Method Madness might well be the danger after his decent Killarney introduction last month, and Flos looks bets of the rest.
