4/1

Back to his best when gaining his first success for current connections at Kelso (2m, heavy) in January. Didn't do a great deal wrong in defeat after and his mark has dipped a little ahead of this return.

7/2

Won 2m Kilbeggan maiden hurdle in first-time tongue tie last month. Left in front (had been 2 lengths second) when hampered and unseated on landing at the last on chasing debut there 3 weeks ago. Retains potential for handicaps and leading player.

25/1

Untrustworthy veteran who struck twice at Carlisle (17f) last term. First visit to Perth and might need this first run since early-June.

7/1

Last win at Cartmel in June 2022 and hard to catch right since, fading there last month. Mark has dipped further.

Park Annonciade^t⁵⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-3| J: D A Jacob| T: S R B Crawford| OR: 109| CD

5/2

Went the wrong way in bumpers but has made a promising start over hurdles, not needing to improve to land C&D novice 8 weeks ago. Might benefit from a longer trip but can do better now handicapping and could be hard to catch.

Form: 59-721

Cuban Cigar^p,t¹⁵²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Roisin Leech⁽⁷⁾| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell| OR: 108| D

10/1

Held his form admirably well last term, deservedly getting his head back in front at Musselburgh (17.5f) before a good second in stronger contest over C&D. Might need this.

Malangen¹⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 10-8| J: Peter Kavanagh⁽³⁾| T: Miss L Harrison| OR: 100| CD

11/2

Goes well here, landing a fourth course win in C&D handicap earlier this month, giving further reason to think his attitude flaws are a thing of the past as he gradually got to the runaway leader under this rider. Can go well again.

Won at Hexham in re-fitted cheekpieces in May 2022 but little show since, including in 2 runs for this yard this summer.

Forecasts

Park Annonciade (5/2), Nottodaybobo (7/2), Thereisnodoubt (4/1), Malangen (11/2), Rakhine State (11/2), Vocal Duke (7/1), Cuban Cigar (10/1), Applaus (25/1), Frightened Rabbit (50/1)

PARK ANNONCIADE isn't bombproof given how his form quickly tailed off in bumpers but he's made a good start over hurdles, scoring here last time, and is worth the benefit of the doubt on his handicap debut. Nottodaybobo is interesting back hurdling for Gordon Elliott, while Malangen, who scored for a fourth time here a fortnight ago, can go well again.
