Another Day Done³²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: T J O'Brien| T: S R B Crawford

10/1

Ran out on sole point-to-point start and has looked less than straightforward in two bumpers. Yard have a 20 percent strike rate in bumpers over here but it would be a surprise if he added to that tally.

Form: R55

Archies Bet^t¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Thomas Dowson⁽⁵⁾| T: K Scott

50/1

Cheap purchase who was soon beaten when coming under pressure on debut. Unshipped his rider soon after jumping off at Hexham three weeks ago and looks hard to recommend.

Form: 7U

Arizona Bound³²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: R Johnson| T: G Elliott

4/5

Full-brother to Listen And Learn who won five races for Jonjo O'Neill and Lilywhite Gesture who has won twice for this trainer. Represents a yard that did well at this fixture twelve months ago and arrives on the back of a game effort on his debut here a month ago. This looks an easier race and he will be at short odds to go one better.

Form: 5P-2

Strong Team^h1⁶³

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: B S Hughes| T: C Grant

12/1

Bought unraced from Godolphin for £6,000 and worrying to see headgear going on so early. Showed some improvement from a modest debut last time and faces a sterner test in this.

Form: 7-4

Ginny Brig³²

Age: 6| Weight: 10-7| J: Callum Bewley⁽³⁾| T: Miss L Harrison

25/1

Fourth foal with the dam being a winner in point-to-points. Yard are 0-25 in bumpers for the last five seasons and she has plenty to find with Arizona Bound on their meeting here a month ago.

Form: 6

Grageelagh Girl⁶⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 10-7| J: P J Brennan| T: F O'Brien

9/4

Recorded the second slowest time of the day when picking up a Grennan point-to-point on quick ground. The form does not amount to much and she was picked up relatively cheaply for £20,000. Stable do well around here and she still looks the chief threat to the favourite.

Form: 55-1

Onahandshake

Age: 5| Weight: 10-7| J: S Mulqueen⁽³⁾| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell

16/1

Daughter of Victory Note out of a dam who was a winning point-to-pointer. Stable are just 1-20 in bumpers at this track.

Form:

Shesthebusiness^h1,t¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-7| J: James Corbett⁽⁷⁾| T: S Corbett

33/1

Midnight Legend mare out of a dam who liked the ground hock deep and won three races over hurdles/fences. Tailed off on debut and hood now fitted.

Form: 6

Forecasts

Arizona Bound (4/5), Grageelagh Girl (9/4), Another Day Done (10/1), Strong Team (12/1), Onahandshake (16/1), Ginny Brig (25/1), Shesthebusiness (33/1), Archies Bet (50/1)

Gordon Elliott rarely leaves a Perth fixture emptyhanded and ARIZONA BOUND looks his best chance of a winner this afternoon. His debut second is the strongest piece of form on offer and it will either an above-average newcomer or a major improver to deny him. Grageelagh Girl looks the most obvious threat as the winner of an Irish point-to-point but that was an ordinary race won in a slow time.
