Grand National-winning local trainer Lucinda Russell has her eye on the feature race on the opening day of the BetVictor Perth Festival (Wednesday).
Based just 20 minutes down the M90, she saddles Haute Estime in the Listed £32,500 BetVictor Fair Maid Of Perth Mares’ Chase, which is staged over almost three miles at the Scone venue.
“She’s a strapping mare with plenty of scope and she has the perfect physique for jumping fences,” said Russell, who recently landed her second National triumph at Aintree with Corach Rambler.
