Perth Race 8 - Every Race Live On Racing TV Open NH Flat Race (GBB Race)
Irish challenger KILL VANHOWE (4) is the standout. He impressed on debut under rules when a 3.5L second in a 3800m Cork bumper. He was unlucky in running but can make amends here. Booking of Jordan Gainford is a major positive. KSAR D'OUDAIRIES (5) is a fascinating runner for the Mickey Bowen stable. He fetched £85,000 after storming 12L clear in his point-to-point. SHANE'S SPIRIT (10) is an interesting newcomer. The Getaway gelding is from a good family and it would be no surprise to see him figure. FISKARDO (3) is the second string for Mickey Bowen. He is back off a 600-day break. Though his 0.5L second at Worcester in 2024 is promising.

Four-year-old gelding who is first race starter by Getaway out of Avispa. Might just need this run but watch the market.

Four-year-old gelding by Mahsoob out of Best Flight has taken a long time to make it to the track. Having his first start today. Tough assignment at his first outing so tempted to favour others.
