Mister First is a specialist at Perth where he completed a double in small fields on good ground in May. Letter Of Credit had no chance in a Listed contest last time but his earlier form over fences has left plenty to be desired. Sir Harry Cash has been unable to take advantage of a lower mark over timber and hasn't won for over two years but Golden Plan has been running well enough to get involved. AS DE PIQUE (NAP) has been in very good form and, though this is probably just on the short side, he has run well since scoring at Gowran and looks the one to be on.
