FormscanBy John O'Riordan - A dual course and distance winner around this time last year, ALTIMARA can record a third win at this track. Having been hit by the handicapper on the back of those victories, the Ross O'Sullivan-trained mare now finds herself back in this grade for only the second time since posting her most recent success. Following two promising runs in recent weeks, the five-year-old looks to have been primed for this contest and shouldn't be far away. Mr Perth went into plenty of notebooks following a luckless passage at the Galway Festival last time. Granted a clear run, he should be involved at the death. Ballymagreehan can also feature if he can get a prominent early sit from his wide draw.
