Horse Racing: Barnes-storming win on the cards

Garleton can take the feature race honours for trainer Maurice Barnes, a Grand National winning jockey, at Perth tomorrow.

The Carlisle trainer steered Rubstic to glory at Aintree in 1979 and that was the venue of Garleton's latest success last month.

The ten-year-old goes for the Binn Waste Management Perth Gold Cup Handicap Chase on the back of a three-length call over Presentandcorrect over the Mildmay fences at the Liverpool track in the hands of Alexander Voy, who has formed a great rapport with the gelding and keeps the ride.

Gordon Elliott is a proven maestro at Perth venue and looks to have another winner elect in the shape of Priors Gold.

The progressive four-year-old goes for glory in the Provost's Plate Challenge Trophy Novices' Hurdle, having won in some style at Kilbeggan on his last start, and he should prove way too smart for his rivals in Scotland.

Jim Goldie also excels in Perth and he can be trusted to have Regent's Secret ready to roll in the Subsea Services Handicap Chase.

The veteran campaigner showed characteristic guts to repel Quito Du Tresor over this course and distance in April, and has not been punished too severely by the assessor.
