1	5 1st (5) (2.75/1 +45%) Ballykeel		2.75 2.75/1(+45%)																															(5) Ballykeel 2.75/1, Off the mark over fences at Fairyhouse in February and ran a fine race when second at the Punchestown Festival in April. In the process of running below form when falling at Killarney last time but overall profile remains positive. Held when falling last time but a big player if judged on Punchestown festival second.
2	2 2nd (2) (10/1 -100%) Definite Plan		10 10/1(-100%)																															(2) Definite Plan 10/1, Not the most reliable type but he ran well under a switch to front-running tactics when third of 14 in handicap chase at Killarney (26f, good to soft) 28 days ago. Remains to be seen whether he can back that up but trainer's runners here always merit respect. Ran well in first-time blinkers last month but doesn't always look enthusiastic.
3	6 3rd (6) (12/1 +14%) Saint Arvans		12 12/1(+14%)																															(6) Saint Arvans 12/1, Likeable type who has taken well to chasing, winning for a fourth time at Kelso (3m) in April. On the back foot after an early mistake last time and it wouldn't be surprising to make more an impression here. Won when upped to 2m7f in April but soundly beaten twice since; others preferred.
4	3 4th (3) (4/1 +50%) Scipion		4 4/1(+50%)																															(3) Scipion 4/1, Built on earlier chasing promise when landing 4-runner handicap at Lingfield in February and ran at least as well when runner-up at Kempton in April. Disappointing at Market Rasen last time, and has since left Tom Lacey (£56,000), but would merit respect if market vibes are positive. Lingfield winner for Tom Lacey in February; changed hands for £56,000 last month.
5th	7 5th (7) (16/1 -78%) Western Run		16 16/1(-78%)																															(7) Western Run 16/1, Twenty one runs since last win under Rules in 2020 and didn't quite look the force of old when second of 3 over C&D on his debut for this yard last month. Others preferred. Dual point winner this year; ran okay over C&D last month but contests deeper race today.
6th	1 6th (1) (7.5/1 -15%) Caribean Boy		7.5 7.5/1(-15%)																															(1) Caribean Boy 7.5/1, Took advantage of a drop in the weights to take Grade 2 Cheltenham in April but his profile is increasingly all-or-nothing and he failed to back that up when seventh of 11 in handicap chase at Uttoxeter (24f, heavy) 36 days ago. Others are more solid. Returned to form with good win at Cheltenham in April but well held since; unreliable.
4	4 |F| (4) (2.75/1 +8%) Landofsmiles		2.75 2.75/1(+8%)																															(4) Landofsmiles 2.75/1, Two-time C&D winner in 2021 and returned from a 16-month absence with a career-best effort to score in 11-runner handicap chase at Uttoxeter (24f, good to soft, 11/1) 22 days ago. 8 lb higher mark here but should be in the mix again. Won this in 2021 and returned from long layoff with clearcut success last month; a player.
8	8 |PU| (8) (14/1 -100%) Hermann Clermont		14 14/1(-100%)																															(8) Hermann Clermont 14/1, Won twice over C&D for Gordon Elliott last season and ran reasonably well when second on his hunter chase debut at Kelso last month. Unseated through no fault of his own last time but he races from slightly out of the weights and others make more appeal. Dual C&D winner in 2022 but needs to better last month's hunter chase second.

LTO Selection:

16:05 Perth Handicap Chase (Class 2) 24f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.

LANDOFSMILES looked better than ever when romping home by 10 lengths on his return from a 486-day absence at Uttoxeter last month and the veteran looks capable of shrugging off an 8lb rise if running to a similar level here. Ballykeel looks the pick of Gordon Elliott's pair and he can't be dismissed if none the worse for his fall at Killarney in May. Caribean Boy is capable if on a going day and completes the shortlist.

LANDOFSMILES has won on both of his previous visits to Perth and proved better than ever to score at Uttoxeter last time, so, provided that he doesn't "bounce" on his second run after a lengthy absence, he sets a good standard in this contest. Ballykeel is a leading player on the pick of his recent efforts, whilst Scipion is still fairly low-mileage over fences and is worth a market check on his stable debut.

If able to replicate the form of his Punchestown festival second in April, BALLYKEEL will be hard to beat here.

1	6 1st (6) (4.5/1 +18%) Mrs Paisley		4.5 4.5/1(+18%)																															(6) Mrs Paisley 4.5/1, Maiden who didn't offer a great deal over hurdles last term and, for all she wasn't beaten far, produced a far from convincing display when fifth of 7 on chase bow here (20f) 24 days ago. Still, powerful yard's runners can never be underestimated. Not beaten far here on recent chase debut and may build on that performance back hurdling.
2	7 2nd (7) (20/1 +0%) Sea Prince		20 20/1(+0%)																															(7) Sea Prince 20/1, Unpromising in points and low-key start under Rules, failing to build on remote promise showed in pair of course events over shorter when beaten some way out at Hexham (20f) 8 days ago. Needs to leave that in his wake to figure up markedly in trip. Fourth here on last month's handicap debut but ran no race at Hexham last week; up in trip.
3	3 3rd (3) (4/1 +20%) Starlyte		4 4/1(+20%)																															(3) Starlyte 4/1, Made a winning return to hurdles for new yard at Newcastle (20.3f) in November and largely creditable efforts in defeat since, third back at that trip/track in May. Not out of things with cheekpieces refitted. Won on stable debut in the autumn but hasn't progressed; cheekpieces refitted today.
4	8 4th (8) (6.5/1 +54%) Ultra Violet		6.5 6.5/1(+54%)																															(8) Ultra Violet 6.5/1, Fairly useful on Flat in France. Not managed to get near that level over hurdles though, left behind gradually when fourth in 6-runner C&D handicap 25 days ago. More needed with the visor back on. Ran okay when fourth of six over C&D last month but is effectively 1lb higher today.
5th	5 5th (5) (40/1 -21%) Colonel Manderson		40 40/1(-21%)																															(5) Colonel Manderson 40/1, Fair 3m hurdles winner for Dan Skelton but good deal to prove judged on his exploits to date for present yard, struggling a long way out when well held eleventh in 14-runner Cartmel handicap 2 weeks ago. Has become disappointing and needs to turn a corner.
6th	2 6th (2) (5/1 -43%) Pammi		5 5/1(-43%)																															(2) Pammi 5/1, Standing dish around here (5-time C&D winner) her latest victory from 4 lb lower mark 12 months ago. Pretty low-key efforts in trio of Flat starts last month but no surprise to see an upturn back over hurdles at this venue. Struggled on the Flat last month but is a five-time C&D winner over hurdles.
7th	11 7th (11) (11/1 -47%) Lockdown Leader		11 11/1(-47%)																															(11) Lockdown Leader 11/1, Maiden who boasts a distinctly patchy record but did at least confirm ability remains when second in a C&D handicap 25 days ago. Blinkers replace cheekpieces now but no sure thing to be in same form. 5 lb out of weights. Went close over C&D last month but effectively 7lb higher from 5lb wrong today.
1	1 |PU| (1) (4/1 -14%) Boomslang		4 4/1(-14%)																															(1) Boomslang 4/1, Showed improved form on back of 3 months off when runner-up on handicap debut at Kelso (20.8f) last month and matched that level when third back in maiden company at Cartmel (22f) 15 days ago. Unexposed at this trip and big player returned to handicaps. Second on handicap debut and has since bettered that form in a maiden; good chance.
9	9 |PU| (9) (14/1 +13%) Pure Surf		14 14/1(+13%)																															(9) Pure Surf 14/1, Hurdles winner at Sedgefield in November and back to form returned to that venue when runner-up over 19.8f in May of last year. Never involved on chase bow (reportedly struck into) at Hexham 12 months ago and absent since. Returns with yard amongst the winners at least. Second on latest hurdle start but absent since disappointing chase debut a year ago.
4	4 |PU| (4) (20/1 +9%) Dalileo		20 20/1(+9%)																															(4) Dalileo 20/1, Course winner (at 20f) who made frame on four of first 5 starts last year. Ended the campaign below best though and changed hands for £4,500 in October. Betting may prove a useful guide on return to action. Out of form in Ireland when last seen last summer; makes stable debut today.
10	10 |PU| (10) (66/1 -164%) Istimraar		66 66/1(-164%)																															(10) Istimraar 66/1, Veteran campaigner who twice ran well over fences here during 2021 for Andrew Hamilton. Not seen under Rules since July of that year but does come here for new yard on the back of a run in points, albeit last of 4 finishers latest (May 20). Others make greater appeal back over timber. Not seen under rules since 2021 and 0-6 in points this year; difficult to enthuse over.

16:35 Perth Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 24f Race Class Flow

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

With all bar one of PAMMI's hurdles wins coming at this venue, the latest from 4lb lower, it might be worth siding with Jim Goldie's course lover. This current mark isn't beyond her judged on past exploits, and she should be cherry-ripe following her recent spins on the Flat. The unexposed Boomslang merits the utmost respect, while Lockdown Leader would hold every chance if able to replicate his recent C&D second.

BOOMSLANG has returned an improved model following a short break, likely to have finished second with a clear run when third in a Cartmel maiden 15 days ago, and he can get off the mark returned to handicap company again partnered by Brian Hughes. Pammi, who goes really well around here, is also worthy of respect, along with Starlyte.

Topweight BOOMSLANG returns to handicap company after a good third in a Cartmel maiden last month and is open to further progress.

1	2 1st (2) (14/1 -75%) Cracking Rhapsody		14 14/1(-75%)																															(2) Cracking Rhapsody 14/1, Half-brother to fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser Cracking Destiny, but not enough encouragement in his debut at Kelso to think he can win this. Not beaten far on debut at Kelso in April but needs to improve here.
2	4 2nd (4) (0.57/1 -14%) Faux Fur		0.57 0.57/1(-14%)																															(4) Faux Fur 0.57/1, Related to a couple of winners and showed plenty to work on when third at Ballinrobe recently. Stable has a fine record at this track and she should take all the beating. Made promising debut when placed at Ballinrobe last month; obvious contender.
3	1 3rd (1) (1.75/1 +36%) Breizh River		1.75 1.75/1(+36%)																															(1) Breizh River 1.75/1, Left debut form well behind when runner-up at Kelso a month ago and another step forward would make him a serious threat to Faux Fur. Much-improved form when second of 12 at Kelso last month; could be hard to beat here.
4	3 4th (3) (28/1 +72%) Solway Staree		28 28/1(+72%)																															(3) Solway Staree 28/1, Offered little over C&D on debut and set for another struggle after 8 months off. Soundly beaten when 125-1 for debut here (good) in September.

17:05 Perth NH Flat Race (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

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

FAUX FUR shaped with promise when filling the frame at Ballinrobe on her racecourse debut and the Wings Of Eagles filly wouldn't need to improve much further to get off the mark. Breizh River belied long odds when finishing a good second at Kelso last month and is likely to provide the main challenge. Cracking Rhapsody can chase them home ahead of Solway Staree.

FAUX FUR made a positive start in a stronger race than this at Ballinrobe 13 days ago and she's the obvious choice ahead of Breizh River in a race that the pair should dominate.

This might go to BREIZH RIVER, who travelled strongly for a long way and posted a much-improved performance when second at Kelso.

About U.K Horse Racing

Horse racing is a popular and historic sport in the UK, with a tradition dating back centuries. It is a multi-billion pound industry that attracts millions of spectators each year and generates significant economic activity.

There are two main types of horse racing in the UK: flat racing and jump racing. Flat racing is run on a level course and is typically shorter in distance, while jump racing involves horses jumping over obstacles and is generally longer in distance. Both types of racing are popular with spectators and bettors, and they take place at various racetracks throughout the country.

The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool. It is a jump racing event that is known for its challenging course and has become a national institution in the UK. Other notable horse racing events in the UK include the Derby, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, and the Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.

Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.

In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses. Many of the world's top thoroughbreds are bred and trained in the UK, and the industry plays a vital role in the preservation and promotion of the breed.

Overall, horse racing is an integral part of British culture and a major contributor to the country's economy. It is a thrilling and exciting sport that continues to attract a loyal following and generate significant interest from spectators and bettors around the world.
