Lord Perseus hails from a yard with a history in the sphere and he looks difficult to oppose with Tony McCoy aboard. Your a Gassman should have improved for a recent run while Pennant Castle looks best of the newcomers. Mark Pitman's charge couldn't have been more impressive at Huntingdon and as he had raced previously in the 2002 Aintree bumper, he clearly has that touch of class about him. Your a Gassman was sent off as favourite at Perth. He met a very useful horse in Flight Command on that day and it is worth remembering that there was a deluge of foul weather ahead of that race. Money for Ferdy Murphy's charge should not be ignored. Pennant Castle hails from a very shrewd handler and it is interesting that Heather Dalton has elected to put Jim Culloty aboard. The market is also watched with regard to Owen Brennan's Gingerslookingreat. The dam was a useful performer over hurdles in Ireland and there is plenty of speed in the sire's pedigree.
