Tim Easterby, who is firing on all cylinders on the Flat at present, switches his attentions to the jumps tomorrow and has every chance of maintaining his purple patch with Tribal Dispute at Perth.

Russ Garritty, Easterby's long-time stable jockey, takes the mount on Tribal Dispute, who contests the £10,000 Famous Grouse Novices' Chase over two miles.

The eight-year-old is in cracking form at present, having won his last three starts, his latest success having been achieved in convincing style at Kelso a couple of weeks ago.

Easterby, with five winners on the Flat over the last three days, can continue in style with Tribal Dispute, who looks a high-class horse in the making.

Len Lungo has double prospects on Britain's most northerly course with Chef de Cour and Bogus Dreams.

The former, who runs in the Stephen Country Homes Novices' Hurdle, was a decisive winner on his latest outing at Kelso and looks a horse on the upgrade, now that he has learned to settle a little better. He can follow-up.

Bogus Dreams, winner of his last three starts, has good prospects of keeping his winning run going in the totesport.com Handicap Hurdle. The gelding will receive every assistance from Bruce Gibson, who knows him so well.

The £30,000 Barr Construction City of Perth Gold Cup Handicap Chase takes pride of place, and Emperor Ross makes plenty of appeal.

The Nicky Richards-trained gelding has been campaigned in hunter chases this season, and has been running well, winning his latest start at Kelso.

He obviously faces a stiffer test tomorrow, but in his favour is the fact that he will be re-united with a senior professional jockey in the shape of Brian Harding. He is expected to go well in this three-miler.

On the Flat at Bath, Master Mahogany can put a shine on proceedings in the tote quadpot Handicap.

A dual-winner on this course, Ron Hodges' charge finished second to Freak Occurence here last week over ten furlongs. Back to a mile tomorrow should aid his cause and he looks the one to beat in the hands of Richard Quinn.

Be Wise Girl commands plenty of respect in the totepool Awaybet Handicap.

The four-year-old, outclassed in a Listed race at Haydock two outings ago, finished second in a handicap at Pontefract last week and a reproduction of that form tomorrow gives her a solid chance of success.

Parkside Pursuit should not be overlooked in the toteexacta Handicap over an extended five furlongs.

A four-times winner last season, Milton Bradley's sprinter gave notice that his winning turn was coming round again when finishing a close-up fifth at Haydock two outings ago. He can be forgiven his latest unplaced effort at Catterick because he was poorly drawn.

Parkside Pursuit has no problems in the draw department tomorrow and is awarded the nap vote to pop-up at decent odds under the excellent Ryan Moore.

MAKE sure to get your copy of Monday's Evening Press when we will publish details of a competition offerring the chance to win a free pair of tickets to the first day of the Royal Ascot meeting at York.

The five-day meeting has attracted the cream of British racing to Knavesmire, so don't miss out on the chance to be there on the first day.
