PRINCE OF PERTH (4) was eased out of the race in a hurdle (4780m) at this track two starts back. Bounced back last time to salute by 3.5 lengths in a hurdle (4780m) at this track. Sure to prove hard to beat. TOP MAN TOM (1) got the prize in a hurdle (4780m) at this track two runs ago then performed poorly when beaten 11 lengths into fifth most recently in a hurdle (4780m) at this track. In the mix if he can find the form from two runs back. FORGED WELL (3) has not been a factor of late. Two starts ago missed the placings in a hurdle (4870m) at Ayr. Most recently he came to grief in a hurdle (4800m) at Wetherby. Can turn things around. HOSTILE HOTELIER (5) recorded a big win 16 days back in a hurdle (5070m) at Catterick. That result came as no surprise after a solid second in a hurdle (4780m) at this track the run before. Big chance again.
