17:00 Galway - Experimentalist

It's a really competitive race and he has to improve if he's to be competitive but I think the step up to two miles should work in his favour. His last run on the flat came at Ballinrobe back in May and he ran well for a long way. The ground should be fine for him and he's got a handy weight. You need plenty of luck in these big fields but Declan McDonogh rides and we're hopeful that he'll go well.


18:30 Perth - Formal Bid

He has been disappointing but he showed a little bit more when fourth behind Daytime Dreamer at Downpatrick last time out and hopefully he can build on that. He must carry top weight here but it's not a great race and if he puts his best foot forward, he should have a good each-way chance. A young lad from the yard - David O'Leary - takes the mount, so we're really hoping he'll go well.


19:00 Perth - Lord Redsgirth

He is what he is and he'll run his race but he can be a tricky sort to win with. He should go well and there is only a small field so hopefully Timmy (Murphy) can get him to put his head in front. From a punter's point of view, he's probably not one to depend on too much.


19:35 Perth - Some Fiddle

She's our best chance of a winner today. She went very close to winning at Kilbeggan last time out, beaten just a short head by Music On D Waters. After a number of good efforts, she deserves a change of luck and the better ground should be in her favour so hopefully she'll get it today. I don't see any reason why she won't go well - she looks to have a good, solid chance.


20:05 Perth - Cottage Oak

He's been disappointing recently and will be going to the sales next month. He has had some good runs in decent handicap chases in the past and we've decided to leave off all the headgear today in the hope that it might spark him back into life. If that's the case, he should run well.


20:35 Perth - Definite All Star

In contrast to Cottage Oak, we're putting cheekpieces on him in the hope that they will help. He has also been disappointing this season but it's not the strongest of races and he has the ability to go well in this company. He has to concede weight to all his rivals and we're hoping for more than expecting a good run from him.
