13:30 Perth Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 20f - 12 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	13 1st (13) (80/1 +20%) Nowinittowinit	80 80/1(+20%)	(13) Nowinittowinit 80/1, Well held in bumper/maiden hurdles. Well beaten at 100-1 the last twice and considerable improvement is required.
2	2 2nd (2) (2/1 +27%) Bleu D'enfer	2 2/1(+27%)	(2) Bleu D'enfer 2/1, Fair hurdler who was back to his best when fourth of 17 in 2m maiden at Navan in March. Typically found little when disappointing at Fairyhouse since but still warrants respect on the pick of his form. Well beaten on recent h'cap debut but this is easier, and leading claims on earlier form.
3	12 3rd (12) (100/1 +0%) Bayonetta	100 100/1(+0%)	(12) Bayonetta 100/1, €4,250 3-y-o, Leading Light mare. Dam (c98/h81) 21f chase winner (stayed 3m) out of 2m-19f hurdle winner (stayed 25f) Miss Roberto. Maiden Irish pointer, pulled up last time (Mar 25). Placed in points but Invictus World looks to be her yard's chief hope today.
4	10 4th (10) (9/1 +36%) O'hallorans Castle	9 9/1(+36%)	(10) O'hallorans Castle 9/1, Down the field sole start in bumpers but has shown slightly more encouraging signs in 3 maiden hurdles, albeit never better than mid-field. Up in trip. Unable to threaten on his four runs in Ireland but this is easier; could give good account.
5th	7 5th (7) (28/1 -40%) It's Dan	28 28/1(-40%)	(7) It's Dan 28/1, Down the field in his sole bumper but showed more than first time up over hurdles when second in 7-runner maiden at Newcastle (16.9f, soft) 4 weeks ago. Up in trip. Strength of his well-beaten Newcastle 2nd is open to question; could have each-way squeak.
6th	8 6th (8) (3/1 +57%) Jem In Em	3 3/1(+57%)	(8) Jem In Em 3/1, Course bumper winner who made the frame in a pair of maiden hurdles in mid-winter. Disappointed on Musselburgh handicap debut since but it remains early days. Tongue strap on for 1st time. Underwhelming on h'cap debut but promise previously & he won a bumper here; not ruled out.
7th	6 7th (6) (2.75/1 -46%) Invictus World	2.75 2.75/1(-46%)	(6) Invictus World 2.75/1, Didn't need to improve a great deal to get off the mark in bumpers at the third attempt in 16-runner event at Navan (15.8f, good) in September, finding extra when tackled final 1f. Bred to be suited by this step up in trip now hurdling. Navan bumper winner who brings potential to this hurdle debut and is respected.
8th	11 8th (11) (50/1 -150%) One Step Up	50 50/1(-150%)	(11) One Step Up 50/1, Offered little in a Bangor novice hurdle on debut in February. Market check advised but he has to leave February's debut run at Bangor miles behind.
9th	5 9th (5) (40/1 -100%) Dance Thief	40 40/1(-100%)	(5) Dance Thief 40/1, Leading Light gelding. Half-brother to fair hurdler/modest chaser Walkers Point and a point winner. Easily off mark in points at seventh attempt (Mar 25). Market for clues. Won a four-runner point last month on seventh start; could be vulnerable on rules debut.
10th	3 10th (3) (10/1 +60%) Cream Of The West	10 10/1(+60%)	(3) Cream Of The West 10/1, Runner-up completed start in Irish points back in October 2020 and offered something to work on at the first attempt hurdling faced with an inadequate test when sixth of 14 at Ayr (2m) in December. Up in trip. Likely to improve. Fair sixth on rules debut and the step up in trip could suit this 3m point runner-up.
11th	4 11th (4) (12/1 +64%) Cuzco Du Mathan	12 12/1(+64%)	(4) Cuzco Du Mathan 12/1, Fairly useful hurdler/chaser in France. Changed hands for €20,000 but has offered little both starts for new yard. Back up in trip. Showed promise in France but has struggled this year on first two British starts.
1	1 \|PU\| (1) (50/1 -213%) Big Gangsta	50 50/1(-213%)	(1) Big Gangsta 50/1, Ran a fair level when runner-up at Sedgefield only outing in bumpers but dropped away tamely both starts in maiden hurdles (breathing problem on hurdling debut). Has had a breathing operation since last seen. Pulled up/tailed off on his two hurdle starts but wind op since and could return to form.

LTO Selection:

13:30 Perth Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 20f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

Based on the summary, 1.88/1 (6) INVICTUS WORLD seems to be the most promising horse with potential to do well on its hurdle debut. 2.75/1 (2) BLEU D'ENFER and 7/1 (8) JEM IN EM also have good earlier form and could be contenders. However, it is important to note that market check and further improvement are factors to consider in predicting horse racing outcomes.

BLEU D'ENFER failed to fire at Fairyhouse last time but the five-year-old could be very hard to beat in a race of this nature based on the pick of his form this season. Invictus World has shown good form in bumpers and has to be of some interest on his hurdling bow, while Jem In Em and It's Dan are others who could go well.

INVICTUS WORLD got off the mark in bumpers at the third attempt at Navan in September and, with this step up in trip promising to suit, he could be up to making a successful hurdling debut. Jem In Em and Bleu d'Enfer both disappointed on their most recent outings, but warrant respect on their earlier form.

This could be a good opportunity for BLEU D'ENFER to get off the mark. Navan bumper winner Invictus World is feared most.

14:00 Perth Handicap Chase (Class 3) 20f - 6 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	4 1st (4) (6.5/1 +28%) Grey Skies	6.5 6.5/1(+28%)	(4) Grey Skies 6.5/1, Maiden/novice hurdle winner last season but this point winner hasn't made the expected progress since switch to fences, with his latest Sedgefield success gained in very fortunate circumstances, 8 lengths down when sole rival fell last. 8l down when left alone at Sedgefield last time but there was still promise in that run.
2	5 2nd (5) (4/1 -45%) Universal Folly	4 4/1(-45%)	(5) Universal Folly 4/1, Third hurdle win when seeing off 6 rivals at Market Rasen last month. Showed promise on the first of 2 chase starts at the end of 2022 and he returns to fences off the same mark as at Market Rasen. Won off this mark over hurdles latest; jumping hasn't been totally convincing over fences.
3	3 3rd (3) (5/1 -11%) Fusain	5 5/1(-11%)	(3) Fusain 5/1, Opened chase account in a match at Newcastle (2m) in February and followed up in a 3-runner novice at Catterick (19f) 12 days ago. Out of depth in Aintree Grade 1 recently (remote third) but contender back at a more realistic level. Easy wins on first two runs after wind op; tackled Grade 1 latest; could be on a good mark.
4	1 4th (1) (3.33/1 -48%) Huelgoat	3.33 3.33/1(-48%)	(1) Huelgoat 3.33/1, Has fine record over fences, winning first 4 starts and running creditably in defeat since. Given a break since latest Wincanton second on Boxing Day. Likely to give a good account for last year's winning yard. Highly progressive earlier in the season and he's a key player now back from a break.
2	2 \|U\| (2) (2.75/1 +50%) Captain Quint	2.75 2.75/1(+50%)	(2) Captain Quint 2.75/1, Won on chase debut at Hexham (2m) in November and back on scoreboard in match race at Ayr (20.5f, good to firm) in March. Shaped as if still in good form (made bad mistake 4 out) when fifth of 9 at Carlisle latest. He could do with cutting out the mistakes but he's won twice over fences this season.
6	6 \|U\| (6) (9/1 -38%) Diamond State	9 9/1(-38%)	(6) Diamond State 9/1, Scored at Musselburgh in December. Mostly respectable efforts since and his mark continues to ease. Pretty consistent but probably fortunate when winning at Musselburgh; others preferred.

LTO Selection:

14:00 Perth Handicap Chase (Class 3) 20f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.

4.5/1 (3) FUSAIN is likely to do well based on the summary. The horse has recently opened its chase account and won two races after a wind op. Although it struggled in a Grade 1 race recently, it will be back at a more realistic level and could be on a good mark.

A case can be made for all of these but none more so than FUSAIN, who was out of his depth in a Grade 1 at Aintree last time. However, his previous two victories suggest that a mark of 122 may underestimate his ability. Universal Folly scored over hurdles last month and has to be of some interest off the same mark now switched back to fences. Huelgoat is a consistent performer who is likely to be in the mix once again.

UNIVERSAL FOLLY returns to fences off the same mark as when successful over hurdles at Market Rasen last month and gets the vote. Paul Nicholls won this race last year and his Huelgoat is much respected back from a break. Captain Quint is another who should go well.

Preference is for FUSAIN who posted two easy wins in February, and is back in the right company today having taken on Jonbon recently.

14:00 Perth Handicap Chase (Class 3) 20f PREDICTION SIMULATION

14:30 Perth Handicap Chase (Class 3) 16f - 5 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	2 1st (2) (2.75/1 -38%) Corrigeen Rock	2.75 2.75/1(-38%)	(2) Corrigeen Rock 2.75/1, Fairly useful novice hurdler last season and winner of first 2 completed starts over fences this term. Good second at Sandown next 2 starts but failed to meet expectations at Ascot since. Type to bounce back. Below par at Ascot but this is easier and otherwise he's been a progressive novice chaser.
2	5 2nd (5) (6/1 -20%) Sword Of Fate	6 6/1(-20%)	(5) Sword Of Fate 6/1, Returned to form from out of the blue when winning 8-runner handicap chase at Wetherby (15.2f, soft) 20 days ago. However, was the chief beneficiary of a messy start so wouldn't be sure to back that up. Won at Wetherby three weeks ago and he's won here three times; respected.
3	3 3rd (3) (2.75/1 +31%) Ashington	2.75 2.75/1(+31%)	(3) Ashington 2.75/1, Versatile performer who ran right up to his best when second of 7 in handicap hurdle at Sedgefield in January off 1 lb higher. Needs a thorough test kept to 2m but he's likely to give it a good go back over fences and in a change of headgear. Good second over hurdles in January when last seen & he ran well on his last chase outing.
4	1 4th (1) (3/1 +14%) Dreams Of Home	3 3/1(+14%)	(1) Dreams Of Home 3/1, Ended last season on a winning note in this race and picked up where he left off by landing 17f Kelso handicap on return in December. Not hit those heights since but no surprise if he bounced back off a career-low mark with a tongue strap applied. Won this last year; hasn't threatened on recent starts but has dropped down the weights.
5th	4 5th (4) (5.5/1 -22%) Casa Tall	5.5 5.5/1(-22%)	(4) Casa Tall 5.5/1, Three-time winner over fences but lost his way towards the end of last season and just respectable efforts at best this term. Headgear now given a whirl. Third in this last year and now 12lb lower but he's struggled to get competitive since.

LTO Selection:

14:30 Perth Handicap Chase (Class 3) 16f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.

It is difficult to predict with certainty which horse will do well based on this summary, but Sword of Fate seems to have the best recent form with a recent win at Wetherby. However, there are other horses with potential such as 2/1 (2) CORRIGEEN ROCK who has been a progressive novice chaser and Dreams of Home who won this race last year and has dropped down in the weights. It may also be worth considering 4/1 (3) ASHINGTON who ran well on his last chase outing and has versatility.

SWORD OF FATE was an impressive winner at Wetherby earlier in the month and a reproduction of that level of form would give him a big chance here, despite a 5lb rise. Ashington hit the crossbar on his most recent outing and cannot be discounted in this company. Corrigeen Rock was disappointing at Ascot when last seen but his previous form is decent and is another to consider.

ASHINGTON is threatening to come good soon and looks on a workable mark back over fences. Last year's winner Dreams of Home may emerge as the biggest threat now he's dropped to a career-low mark.

Ascot last time was disappointing from CORRIGEEN ROCK but this is an easier race and he's enjoyed a fine novice campaign in the main.

14:30 Perth Handicap Chase (Class 3) 16f PREDICTION SIMULATION

15:00 Perth Maiden Hurdle (Class 1) 24f - 6 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	3 1st (3) (10/1 -43%) Giovinco	10 10/1(-43%)	(3) Giovinco 10/1, Off the mark at third attempt between the flags in November and has easily won his first two starts over hurdles. Open to improvement and worth a try at this level for all that he has something to find. 2 easy wins last month; this is much tougher but remains to be seen where limitations lie.
2	5 2nd (5) (4.5/1 +0%) Hurricane Bay	4.5 4.5/1(+0%)	(5) Hurricane Bay 4.5/1, Showed fair form in bumpers and upped his game since sent hurdling, his standout effort coming when third in the Grade 2 River Don at Doncaster in January. Made the most of good opportunity at same course since and faced a stiff task at the top level at Aintree last time. Respected. Pulled up in recent Aintree Grade 1 but on soft; leading claims on January Grade 2 third.
3	2 3rd (2) (4.5/1 +44%) Carnfunnock	4.5 4.5/1(+44%)	(2) Carnfunnock 4.5/1, Fairly useful hurdler who upped his game to score at Naas last time. Should get the longer trip and is likely to give another good account. Got up late in 2m3f h'cap at Naas; open to further improvement now up in trip; a possible.
4	1 4th (1) (1.62/1 +19%) Makin'yourmindup	1.62 1.62/1(+19%)	(1) Makin'yourmindup 1.62/1, Likeable sort who enhanced a good strike rate under Rules when landing the Presige Novices' at Haydock a couple of months ago. Penalised for it but another bold showing seems likely. Won Grade 2 novice at Haydock; carries 5lb penalty here but has solid claims nevertheless.
5th	4 5th (4) (6.5/1 -63%) Hitching Jacking	6.5 6.5/1(-63%)	(4) Hitching Jacking 6.5/1, Already a dual winner over hurdles and arrives on the back of another likeable performance when second at Uttoxeter 39 days ago. Promises to be suited by this trip and could take the beating. Near-miss on 2m4f h'cap debut last month and every chance this trip will suit; respected.
6th	6 6th (6) (5.5/1 +0%) Regal Blue	5.5 5.5/1(+0%)	(6) Regal Blue 5.5/1, Easily off the mark at the second attempt in points and readily landed his first start under Rules at Ffos Las. Open to improvement and looks a big player up in grade. Comfortably beat a solid yardstick when winning in January on his sole rules start.

LTO Selection:

15:00 Perth Maiden Hurdle (Class 1) 24f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.

Based on the summary provided, it is difficult to predict which horse will do well as each one has solid claims and potential for improvement. However, 2/1 (1) MAKIN'YOURMINDUP and 4/1 (4) HITCHING JACKING seem to have the most consistent form and potential for success based on their recent performances. 4.5/1 (5) HURRICANE BAY and 5.5/1 (6) REGAL BLUE also have potential and should be respected, while 6/1 (2) CARNFUNNOCK and 7/1 (3) GIOVINCO may have more to prove at this level. Ultimately, it will come down to the individual horse's ability on the day and how they handle the race conditions.

Makin'yourmindup has improved with each run over hurdles this season and further progress can't be ruled out for Paul Nicholls' charge, but a 5lb penalty may be enough to thwart his bid in landing a fourth career success. A chance could be taken on the lightly-raced REGAL BLUE finding the necessary improvement to land this Listed contest, with the six-year-old creating a good impression when winning on his NH debut at Ffos Las in January. Hitching Jacking and Giovinco are viable alternatives.

HITCHING JACKING shaped as if a step up in trip would suit when an excellent second over 19.9f at Uttoxeter last time and he gets the narrow vote in what looks set to be a well-contested listed event. Makin'yourmindup is a danger and Regal Blue can't be ignored with improvement on the cards.

One of the strongest pieces of form belongs to HURRICANE BAY and he's taken to come out on top. Giovinco is second choice.

15:00 Perth Maiden Hurdle (Class 1) 24f PREDICTION SIMULATION

15:30 Perth Conditions Chase (Class 1) 24f - 6 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (2/1 -6%) Pink Legend	2 2/1(-6%)	(1) Pink Legend 2/1, Backed up fine third in Mares' Chase at the Cheltenham Festival with victory in 6-runner handicap at same course (16.3f, good, 9/4) 6 days ago. Longer trip no issue and looks sure to go well again. Perhaps at her very best at Cheltenham but was runner-up in this 12 months ago..
2	6 2nd (6) (18/1 +10%) Maid O'Malley	18 18/1(+10%)	(6) Maid O'Malley 18/1, Matched season's best form when close second of 11 in handicap chase at Carlisle (20f, good) 18 days ago but faces a stiff task against the principals here. Solid record over fences for all that she's won only two of 16 starts; tough terms here..
3	3 3rd (3) (9/1 +10%) Haute Estime	9 9/1(+10%)	(3) Haute Estime 9/1, Off the mark over fences when taking 5-runner novice at Warwick (20f, soft) 45 days ago, keeping on gamely. Asked a much bigger question here, though. A Warwick winner last time but this is way tougher on unfavourable terms..
4	5 4th (5) (16/1 -33%) Kapga De Lily	16 16/1(-33%)	(5) Kapga De Lily 16/1, Showed up for long way before unseating rider late on at Aintree latest and had acquitted herself well in all 3 previous starts this term. Not ruled out. Multiple winner but she's held by Pink Legend on their Exeter clash in February..
5th	4 5th (4) (10/1 -43%) Kapard	10 10/1(-43%)	(4) Kapard 10/1, Bagged second chase win at Kilbeggan (19.9f) last summer but lightly raced and not run to same level since. Fell when remote third at Fairyhouse latest and bit to prove now. Last three runs have been below her best and may struggle to contain a couple of these..
2	2 \|F\| (2) (1.1/1 +37%) Brides Hill	1.1 1.1/1(+37%)	(2) Brides Hill 1.1/1, Excuses in better company last time and upped her game previously when winning 5-runner listed chase at Thurles (21.9f, good to soft). Holds strong claims. Listed winner in Ireland who brings very strong form claims in this company..

LTO Selection:

15:30 Perth Conditions Chase (Class 1) 24f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.

Based on the summary, 1.88/1 (1) PINK LEGEND looks like the most likely contender to do well as she has recently won a handicap at the same course and has a good track record at Cheltenham.

BRIDES HILL wasn't quite ready for Grade 1 level when pulling up at Fairyhouse earlier in the month, but she'd previously looked a mare on the up when winning a similar event to this at Thurles in February and looks to have been found a good opportunity to resume her progress. Pink Legend arrives at the top of her game having won a handicap at Cheltenham on Thursday and rates as an obvious threat, with Kapard making most appeal of the remainder.

PINK LEGEND arrives in fine fettle and can record her third win of the season. Brides Hill will appreciate the drop in grade and looks the obvious danger.

Pink Legend is an admirable mare who is hard to knock but Irish raider BRIDES HILL (nap) looks a serious threat in receipt of 2lb.

16:05 Perth Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 20f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	2 1st (2) (3/1 +40%) Autumn Return	3 3/1(+40%)	(2) Autumn Return 3/1, Point/bumper winner who landed mares' novice hurdles at Market Rasen in September and Catterick in December, both at around 2m. Not disgraced switched to handicaps the last twice and possibilities now faced with a stiffer test.
2	7 2nd (7) (12/1 -50%) Maimie's Magic	12 12/1(-50%)	(7) Maimie's Magic 12/1, Belied odds of 33/1 when making a winning handicap bow at Kelso (2¼m, heavy) at December. Proved that to be no fluke when following up at Newcastle next time and subsequent defeats can be excused, so she's one to consider.
3	1 3rd (1) (6.5/1 -8%) Holly Hartingo	6.5 6.5/1(-8%)	(1) Holly Hartingo 6.5/1, Promising start under Rules last term, winning a pair of mares' novices hurdles at around 21f on first 2 outings. However, well held on latest start in a Newbury Grade 2 last spring and while her sights are lowered now, she looks vulnerable under top-weight.
4	3 4th (3) (6/1 -33%) Notnowlinda	6 6/1(-33%)	(3) Notnowlinda 6/1, Winning Irish pointer who notched second success in this sphere at Catterick in December. Latest third off a 1 lb higher mark at Kelso (16.2f, soft) was creditable but she has failed to make an impact on both previous attempts over this trip.
5th	5 5th (5) (3/1 +25%) Starlyte	3 3/1(+25%)	(5) Starlyte 3/1, Made a winning return to hurdles for new yard over this trip at Newcastle in November. Latest fifth off 11 at Musselburgh (23.8f, good to soft) was in a Class 2 handicap and she's one to consider back down in trip off 2 lb lower here.
6th	4 6th (4) (16/1 -33%) Martalindy	16 16/1(-33%)	(4) Martalindy 16/1, Caused a huge surprise when a 50/1 winner of a 4-runner mares' maiden at Huntingdon in October. Held back by several mistakes when second of 3 back there later that month, though, and improvement needed now handicapping following a break.
7th	6 7th (6) (8/1 -45%) Headscarf Lil	8 8/1(-45%)	(6) Headscarf Lil 8/1, Dual winner last term and left reappearance effort behind when chasing Starlyte home at Newcastle in November. Again found just one too good at Doncaster next time but needs to bounce back following a pretty disappointing display at Ayr last month.
8th	8 8th (8) (6/1 +25%) Rockonsoph	6 6/1(+25%)	(8) Rockonsoph 6/1, Successful sole start between the flags and stepped up on low-key handicap debut effort when chasing home easy winner Animore at Ayr (21.4f, good to firm) in a first-time tongue strap. Eased 2 lb since and likely to be in the mix if able to build on that with the hood refitted here.

LTO Selection:

16:05 Perth Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 20f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

Based on the summary, it is difficult to predict which horse will do well as they all have their strengths and weaknesses. However, 4/1 (5) STARLYTE and 8/1 (7) MAIMIE'S MAGIC are mentioned as having recently won races and may be worth considering, while 6/1 (1) HOLLY HARTINGO is mentioned as vulnerable under top-weight. 8/1 (8) ROCKONSOPH is also mentioned as having potential if able to build on a recent improved performance. Ultimately, it will come down to each horse's form on the day of the race.

AUTUMN RETURN (fourth) may have been a length and a half behind Notnowlinda (third) in a valuable contest at Kelso last month, but she is taken to overturn that form with the step up in trip expected to suit. Brian Hughes is an eye-catching booking as well and she can see off the likes of Headscarf Lil and Holly Hartingo, who is in need of a revival in form.

This looks pretty trappy and the suggestion is STARLYTE, who acquitted herself well in a higher-grade handicap at Musselburgh last month and both this drop back in trip and 2 lb lower mark will help. Maimie's Magic shouldn't be judged too harshly on her last 2 starts and remains of interest having made a good start in handicaps but Rockonsoph is second choice on the back of a creditable effort at Ayr. Autumn Return is also shortlisted now upped in trip.

This is very open. AUTUMN RETURN looks ready for this longer trip and she's 2-2 under the returning Brian Hughes.

16:35 Perth Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 24f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	3 1st (3) (3.5/1 -27%) Fortcanyon	3.5 3.5/1(-27%)	(3) Fortcanyon 3.5/1, Back on track when running out 33/1 winner at Newcastle (22f) in January and similar form in defeat on 2 of his 3 starts since, running on late for third at Carlisle (25f) 18 days ago. Not out of things but he can ill afford to get too far back here. Not entirely reliable but has the form to feature in a handicap of this nature..
2	9 2nd (9) (6.5/1 +59%) The Longest Day	6.5 6.5/1(+59%)	(9) The Longest Day 6.5/1, First-time cheekpieces applied when creditable third of 11 in handicap hurdle at Doncaster (24.4f, soft) in January 2022. However, showed nothing returning from 15 months off at Hereford 3 weeks ago and he'll need to leave that in his wake to figure here. This trip is more suitable than the 2m over which he finished tailed off on reappearance..
3	2 3rd (2) (22/1 -57%) Theirshegoes	22 22/1(-57%)	(2) Theirshegoes 22/1, Signs of promise sole start in bumpers and similar story when fifth of 9 on second of 3 starts over hurdles at Ayr in March 9shaping like a stayer). This step up in trip promises to suit but the betting may prove a useful guide ahead this switch to handicaps. Inconsistent in novice events and, even on her best form, this mark looks challenging..
4	7 4th (7) (7.5/1 +46%) Arnica	7.5 7.5/1(+46%)	(7) Arnica 7.5/1, Remains a maiden after 17 starts, finishing a well-beaten sixth of 7in a handicap at Newcastle (23.7f) 4 weeks ago. Needs to step up significantly on that if he's to feature here. Some reasonable efforts in March/April 2021 but well beaten on both starts this season..
5th	5 5th (5) (6/1 +0%) Lastofthecosmics	6 6/1(+0%)	(5) Lastofthecosmics 6/1, Course winner who ended losing run when reeling in re-opposing Red Missile late on at Musselburgh (23.8f) in February. Fared best of those from off the pace when fourth back at that venue 33 days ago and he's of interest again. Having a solid season in staying handicap hurdles and likely to be in the mix..
6th	8 6th (8) (4.5/1 -29%) Something Golden	4.5 4.5/1(-29%)	(8) Something Golden 4.5/1, Maiden who has performed creditably switched to handicaps, again hitting the frame when third in 7-runner Newcastle handicap (23.7f) 4 weeks ago. Eased 2 lb since and he's in with a shout in an open-looking handicap. Trying this trip for the first time when an 8l third at Newcastle; may have more to give..
7th	4 7th (4) (11/1 -57%) Hey Bud	11 11/1(-57%)	(4) Hey Bud 11/1, Underwhelming for Laura Hurley last season and having got back on track when runner-up on return/yard debut over fences at Ffos Las in November, his jumping frailties again resurfaced when distant third back there in January. Switches back to hurdles now. Good and bad in two chase starts for this yard; others more solid now back hurdling..
8th	6 8th (6) (20/1 -67%) Not The Chablis	20 20/1(-67%)	(6) Not The Chablis 20/1, Went close off a 2 lb higher mark over fences here in May 2021 but well below par both subsequent starts, including when returning from a lengthy absence over hurdles at Musselburgh in January. Cheekpieces again the headgear of choice. His last good run was when second in a handicap chase here in May 2021..
1	1 \|PU\| (1) (5/1 +33%) Red Missile	5 5/1(+33%)	(1) Red Missile 5/1, Back to winning ways from the front in 5-runner Musselburgh handicap (19.8f) in January, digging deep when tackled. However, he's proved disappointing on 2 of his 3 starts since, struggling early final circuit when pulled back at that venue last time. This a lot easier than last time and has it in him to go well..

LTO Selection:

16:35 Perth Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 24f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

6/1 (5) LASTOFTHECOSMICS and 7.5/1 (1) RED MISSILE seem to have the most consistent recent form and could be in with a chance in this open-looking handicap. 3.5/1 (8) SOMETHING GOLDEN also has potential to improve over this new distance and may be worth considering.

FORTCANYON gave the impression that a win may be around the corner when putting in a solid placed effort at Carlisle last month, and he is taken to uphold the form with Lastofthecosmics (second) from there meeting at Newcastle in January when the selection won well. The Lucinda Russell stable continues in fine form and the experienced Lucy Turner is a good asset to have in a contest of this nature aboard Red Missile.

Plenty in with a chance and it could just pay to side with SOMETHING GOLDEN. He's acquitted himself well in hitting the frame all 3 starts in handicaps and, still unexposed granted this sort of test, it would come as no surprise to see him go well from a career-low mark. The selection's stablemate Lastofthecosmics and Fortcanyon head up the dangers, whilst Theirshegoes requires a market check on handicap debut.

Marginal preference is for SOMETHING GOLDEN who remains relatively unexposed as a stayer.
