Perth 15:17 Odds Comparison

Showed much improved form to get off the mark at Hexham 4 weeks ago, jumping fluently out in front and heavily eased near finish. Remains unexposed so good chance he can defy 9 lb rise.

On a roll and resumed progress when completing a hat-trick (4-timer when including his all-weather Flat win in January) at Sedgefield 67 days ago. Up another 6 lb but big shout again under Brian Hughes (first ride back after broken leg in March).

Settled much better than previously when just denied at Carlisle in March. Respectable third off this mark at Aintree last month and not disgraced back on the Flat on Thursday.

Has won 2 of his last 3 starts after nigh-on 2 years without even one (hardly putting a foot wrong since the blinkers were added) so must be respected on current form.

Yet to score but shaped as if still in good form when fourth back in a maiden over C&D last month.

Headstrong sort who has had a rather in-and-out start to life in handicap hurdles but was right back to form when second here (2½m, soft) last month and drop back in trip unlikely to be a problem.

Found run of good form coming to a halt at Ayr in April though wasn't disgraced back on the Flat 9 days ago. Type to bounce back and she's back down in class.

Regular around here (4-time C&D winner) who also scored on the Flat at Ayr in September. Might have needed return run here in April and has since run creditably back on the Flat.

Progressed when winning 3 times between July and October, including over C&D in September. Below par last 3 starts, however, including both starts here after a winter break.

Placed on 3 of 4 hurdle starts in France but shown just 1 piece of form from 4 starts since joining this yard,

C&D winner. Didn't really take to fences last season and shaped as if needed the run after 3 months off here 24 days ago. Subsequently sold from Stuart Crawford for £10,000.

Dual hurdles winner who returned to form when going close with first-time headgear enlisted in chase at Catterick in January. Struggled upped significantly in trip next 2 starts and drops markedly back in distance back over hurdles (C&D on debut nearly 2 years ago). Change of headgear.

Mid-field in a pair of bumpers but regressive form over hurdles. Has had breathing operation.
