Peter Monteith and Lucinda Russell are two with chances of repelling the invaders and so, too, has leading Scottish Flat trainer, Jim Goldie, who managed it yesterday with Tillietudlem.
The Uplawmoor trainer successfully mixes both codes and his Annibale Caro could follow up yesterday’s success in the Anderson, Anderson and Brown Handicap Hurdle.
This is seriously competitive, with major contenders from the winning yards at this course, such as McMurdo Sound (Gordon Elliott), Civil Servant (Twiston-Davies) and Pillar of Hercules (Ferdy Murphy).
The home defence is well represented, too, with Lucinda Russell’s Quito du Tresor, Lucy Normile’s Strobe and the aforementioned Annibale Caro.
It looks a wide-open affair but Annibale Caro (4.20), a course-and-distance winner, is on a reasonable mark and should go well.
Just as fascinating is the Morris Leslie Novices Chase in which Russell has a leading contender in Corkage. A course-and-distance winner, Corkage blundered late on when in with a chance here last time out but ought to be a major challenger this time.
Mhilu has made a good start to his chasing career for Irish trainer Elliott, while Laborec looks a likely candidate for Howard Johnson. It looks a good race but Twiston-Davies’ Diablo (2.50), who ran in some high-class hurdles last term, will have been well-schooled and is the choice in what could be a thrilling affair.
The Cheltenham trainer can make it a double with Bermuda Pointe (3.50), who was pulled up here after a blunder last April but is likely to be a better horse now and can take the Aquatic Handicap Chase.

n Ian Paul, the Herald’s racing expert, was in good form yesterday, tipping two winners at Perth, Prospectorous (9-4) and Kells Castle (7-2) giving him a near 14-1 double.
BETWEEN the Irish raiders and the ever present threat from Nigel Twiston-Davies’ yard, home contenders have a tough time getting among the winning prizes at Perth these days, but maybe it will be different on the last day of this year’s racing at the track.
