BOLD PERK won a handicap chase at Hereford last week by 19 lengths. David Pipe has clearly spotted a decent opportunity for the nine-year-old here as he can race off the same mark back over hurdles - he should prove hard to beat. Themanfromfraam has also been in good form over the larger obstacles but has to race from 8lb out of the handicap in this and more of a danger may be Some Catch, a winner over C&D in April and only a couple of pounds higher now. Landenstown Pearl has struggled to get her head in front but is an honest sort and she could easily make the frame again today.
