Arrives on a hat-trick after wins at Plumpton and Market Rasen, recording career best on latter occasion over 3m. Hiked up 8 lb though so another step forward is needed.

16:20 Perth - 6 June 2021 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

Lots with chances. POTTERMAN won the bet365 Gold Cup in the stewards' room but Alan King's likeable stayer can take this handicap of his own accord nudged up just 1 lb for that cracking effort after a break. Mellow Ben has proved expensive to follow but lurks on a good mark so is feared most with Tommy Rapper another who is weighted to have a say.

  1. POTTERMAN
  2. MELLOW BEN (IRE)
  3. TOMMY RAPPER (IRE)
