5/4

Has thrived since going chasing, winning 4 times at up to 3¼m last year. Resumed from 5 months off with another victory in 9-runner handicap at Perth (3m, good to soft) 10 days ago. Up 6 lb but he's not taken lightly.

Form: 15538-1

11/4

Unreliable sort, although he went with more fluency than of late when a creditable fourth of 9 to Upfordebate in handicap chase at Perth (3m, good to soft) 10 days ago. Others are still preferred.

Form: 91-2234

15/8

Made it 5 wins for current yard (including over C&D) at Perth (3m) in September with positive tactics utilised again. Posted another good effort with third of 9 to Upfordebate in handicap there (3m, good to soft) 10 days ago. Not out of things, although yard also has Fairlawn Skipper in here.

FAIRLAWN SKIPPER looked a good prospect when going in at the first time of asking over fences here last month and with this return to further a plus he is fancied to make light of a 7 lb rise in the weights. Upfordebate has really taken to the larger obstacles too and should ensure Mickey Bowen's promising sort doesn't have things all his own way.
