Fair Maid Of Perth Mares' Chase (Listed) (GBB Race)

Useful staying chaser who won this race 2 years ago. Awarded last season's Grand National Trial at Haydock. Inadequate test when 13¼ lengths third of 5 to Paggane in listed chase at Carlisle (2½m, good to soft, 7/1) in November. Arrives fresher than most and will appreciate the return to this trip.

Has won 4 of her 5 completed starts in chases since joining Dan Skelton, including the Paddy Power and Coral Gold Cups. Was gambled on but fell at the third in Grand National at Aintree 11 days ago. Sets the clear standard on form.

Placed all 3 completed starts over fences this season, latest in Thyestes Handicap at Gowran in February. Pulled up in Irish Grand National at Fairyhouse (29.1f, soft, 25/1) 16 days ago. Yard won this in 2022.

Has improved since sent chasing, winning novice handicap at Ayr in November. Took advantage of a good opportunity in match event at Haydock latest. Has the cheekpieces back on and faces a stiff task returned to this grade.
