Perth Race 1 - Welcome To The Perth Festival Maiden Hurdle (GBB Race)
OFF THE JURY (7) is markedly down in grade after pulling up in a 4900m handicap hurdle at Haydock Park during February. Placed on four consecutive occasions prior including when second at Ffos Las. Can bounce back. NEWBROOK DIAMOND (6) was racing consistently with four placings in five outings before finishing seventh in a Fairyhouse maiden hurdle. Represents a leading yard in Ireland and will be thereabouts. GEE FORCE FLYER (2) is racing consistently with one win and four placed efforts from five career attempts. Expected to challenge. HOLY JOE (4) looks interesting as the sole debutant against this field.

Last run pulled up at Hexham on March 25 over 4000m. The start before that; pulled up at Carlisle on February 16 over 3900m. Isn't among the top hopes.

Six-year-old gelding by Elusive Pimpernel out of Key Stage has taken a long time to make it to the track. Tough to line up and betting is likely to provide the best guide.
