Overturn makes a swift return to jumping in the Scottish Hydro Summer Champion Hurdle at Perth.
The limited handicap is a new race on the calendar and Donald McCain's popular seven-year-old, a creditable seventh in the Champion Hurdle at Cheltenham in March, will be giving upwards of 5lb to his nine rivals.
"It's a good race for the time of year and it just shows that if you put up the money, you'll get the good horses. He's grand at the moment. We backed off him for a week after Goodwood, but he's ready to go again," said McCain, whose charge was seventh in the Goodwood Cup last time.
"I was delighted with him at Goodwood and if I'm honest I was getting pretty excited for 100 yards or so! Richard Hughes said he didn't stop and he galloped all the way to the line. He just said it's difficult to do what we tried to do round there. He didn't get beaten far, so I was pleased. "
