In depth
Verdict
Perouse has two seconds to his name and is fancied to get off the mark on what looks to be a trappy end of proceedings to Hexham's card. The yard is in form and main danger, Red Nose Lady has recorded all her form on a significantly softer surface. Ferdy Murphy has an interesting debutante here in Shelu and he could have a line of form on Perouse as he finished behind another of the stable's runners, Island Faith, last time out. Flat trainer, Alan Berry saddles a rare runner in National Hunt Flat races, and Zanariann should be respected.
