National Hunt Racing > Thursday April 24th

[Aidymac]

Perth 4:20 Dr Richard Newland can do no wrong at the moment and it is not often he brings a horse to Perth so it is always interesting when he comes here. This is only his third visit to the track but he won here before with this horse, Bobowen. This horse won very well on his only run here at Perth and although he is now 18 pounds higher in the weights, he has improved a lot since then too. He has had a 7 month break and now coming back with the stable in their best form ever, he has to come into calculations at 12/1. He won the Listed Betfred Summer Plate at Market Rasen by 9 lengths last July so he clearly has a lot of ability and if he is anywhere near his best tomorrow he could take a lot of beating. Bobowen WIN @ 12/1 Bet365

Re: National Hunt Racing > Thursday April 24th 2.50 Perth - 2pts win Momkinzain @ 9/2 (PP) Lucinda Russell's charge has some very solid course form with career figures here reading 241133 (2113 over this distance) and also has a good record fresh so everything points to a big run today. Disappointed when last seen at Musselburgh but that may well have suggested something was amiss for him to be off the track since. Looks more than capable of competing off this mark so long as he handles the easier ground. Yard are in form and Craig Nicol takes a valuable 5lbs off his mark. Solid. 4.20 Perth - 2pts win Roudoudou Ville @ 9/1 (Hills) You have to take more of a leap of faith with Victor Dartnell's charge but is well-treated on old form and showed something more like it back over fences last time at Fontwell. Hopefully he can build on that now and Dartnell has a fine record when sending horses up to Perth (4-11). Has had his problems since a close 3rd off 145 at Cheltenham in 2011 but has had excuses on runs since (obviously two year absence, lost action on bottomless ground). Took a step forward when not beaten as far at Fontwell last time out - possibly just outstayed after they went hard over 2m6f. Denis O'Regan is 2-2 on the horse and at the age of 9 he shouldn't be done with just yet. Yard had a winner yesterday and I'm hoping this one can bounce back to resume his progress from 2011.
