NICKY Richards' decision to pull Venture To Fly out of a race at Ayr last Friday can reap its reward at Perth tomorrow.

The fast ground at the west of Scotland track forced Richards into an 11th-hour rethink and the going at Perth is guaranteed to be more suitable.

Venture To Fly looked to have been reasonably treated in a novices' handicap hurdle at Ayr but may have been pushed to beat the Martin Pipe-trained Majed.

As it is, he has strong claims in the Nelson Morrison Underwriting Agency Future Champions 'National Hunt' Novices' Hurdle.

This promising staying hurdler landed novice events at Newcastle and Ayrbefore finishing third to Spoof in a competitive handicap back at Ayr on his latest start in Ayr.

This extended three-mile trip holds no terrors for the son of Roselier, who can swoop to conquer.

Nicky Henderson's grand campaigner Get Real can make the long journey from Lambourn to Scotland pay off with victory in the Stewart Catherwood Memorial (Little Bay) Chase.

The 10-year-old continues to hold his form really well and usually comes good at this time of year, as he did 12 months ago by taking a valuable race at Punchestown.

He was a creditable second to Desert Mountain at Kempton in February and can defy top weight in the Showcase handicap.

At Fontwell Montifault stands out as the best bet on the card in the IK Cup Novices' Chase.

The Paul Nicholls-trained gelding has hit form with a vengeance recently and after winning in great style at Ascot at the beginning of the month he put up another fine performance to finish second to Carbury Cross, beaten one and three-quarter lengths, in a hot handicap at Ayr last Saturday.

Montifault, who will make up into a nice staying chaser next season, appears to be on the upgrade. He goes on any ground and looks too good for his rivals tomorrow.
