The Peter Fahey-trained PEREGRINE RUN looks a solid option to add to his five career hurdle wins to date. The nine-year-old is rated 8lb and 9lb ahead of his nearest rival over hurdles coming into this contest. Second in the Grade 2 Powers Chase at Gowran Park earlier this month the gelding can get back to winning ways here at the expense of the Gordon Elliott pair Elwood and Westland Row, the mount of Davy Russell.
