COACH CARTER looks streets ahead of his Perth rivals in the Bob Nelson Capercaillie Handicap Chase (3.00).
Gordon Elliott's charge is fresh from a career best effort in this sphere at Ayr 19 days ago. Having his first run outside Ireland and unfancied in the betting, the six-year-old produced a solid finishing effort despite being a bit novicey in the jumping department.
There is room for improvement after just five starts over fences and he has not had many chances on the decent ground he clearly enjoys. At Ludlow, GET THE APPEAL is on a nice mark for the Farm & Garden Machinery Mares' Handicap Hurdle (2.05).
Back from a break last time, he finished a creditable third with trainer Paul Nicholls' daughter Olive taking the reins. The eight-year-old is 3lb lower than last successful, with Angus Cheleda taking another 5lb off. She has done all of her winning on UK tracks in fields with seven runners or less and a big run is expected.
