14:10 Perth Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 20f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 (1) (2.5/1 +69%) Idilico	2.5 2.5/1(+69%)	(1) Idilico 2.5/1, Won over C&D from this mark last September and arrives on back of a couple of solid efforts on level at Musselburgh in recent months. Respected.
11	11 (11) (5/1 -50%) Champagne Gift	5 5/1(-50%)	(11) Champagne Gift 5/1, Presenting gelding who showed benefit of reappearance run when fourth dropped back to this sort of trip at Worcester (20f) 4 weeks ago. Tongue tie added to cheekpieces and he's not out of things.
10	10 (10) (5/1 -43%) Nastasiya	5 5/1(-43%)	(10) Nastasiya 5/1, Remains without a win but she has returned from 8 months off in good nick, again filling the frame in handicap at Market Rasen (20.6f) 24 days ago. Has to be worth a second look from unchanged mark.
3	3 (3) (5/1 +38%) What Will Be	5 5/1(+38%)	(3) What Will Be 5/1, Hurdles winner who added to his tally on the Flat at Chelmsford (14f) in April. Has shaped as if still in good form under both codes since, not sustain effort when 9 lengths fourth in 8-runner handicap at Uttoxeter (15.7f) 3 weeks ago. Forecast better ground a plus back up in trip.
8	8 (8) (8/1 +0%) Prince Nino	8 8/1(+0%)	(8) Prince Nino 8/1, Modest hurdler who could only run to a similar level as previously for new yard when third of 7 in maiden hurdle at Cartmel (22f) 33 days ago, struggling between last 2 and plugging on. Returns to handicaps from career-low mark if that run has brought him on.
6	6 (6) (8.5/1 -70%) Bergentown	8.5 8.5/1(-70%)	(6) Bergentown 8.5/1, Little worthwhile form in 16 starts over hurdles in Ireland but left those efforts well behind on first start for this yard when scoring at Bangor (19.6f, good) in June. Could only manage eighth at Hexham (16.2f) thereafter and steps back up in trip now.
5	5 (5) (12/1 -71%) Fathers Advice	12 12/1(-71%)	(5) Fathers Advice 12/1, Maiden who filled runners-up spot in handicaps at Ayr/Newcastle in March (both at 2m). Subsequent efforts at this venue have been underwhelming but he is effective at this sort of trip and handicapper has relinquished his grip further if he can bounce back.
4	4 (4) (20/1 -43%) Female Approach	20 20/1(-43%)	(4) Female Approach 20/1, Fair handicapper at best on the Flat and similar merit over hurdles in Ireland. Fairly low-key start in 2 hurdle starts for new yard, weakening quickly 4f out when pulled up at Southwell (24.2f) 30 days ago. Tongue tie fitted.
7	7 (7) (28/1 -12%) Turkey And Ham	28 28/1(-12%)	(7) Turkey And Ham 28/1, Has hinted at ability but looks on a stiff mark and finished well beaten on handicap bow at Hexham 2 months ago. Tongue strap back on.

LTO Selection:

14:10 Perth Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 20f Race Class Flow

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

In a contest lacking depth, a tentative vote is given to NASTASIYA, who arrives here following a fair third over a similar distance at Market Rasen last month. She kept on well during the closing stages on that occasion and can get the better of Champagne Gift, who sports a first-time tongue-tie following a fair fourth at Worcester most recently. Bergentown is another to take seriously.

NASTASIYA has returned from an 8-month absence in good form, again filling the frame when staying on for third at Market Rasen (20.6f) last month, and a repeat can see Rebecca Menzies' mare make a bold bid to shed the maiden tag. Champagne Gift and Idilico head up the dangers.

This might go to BERGENTOWN (nap), who appeared to have a bit left in the tank when winning under a confident ride on his stable debut.

14:45 Perth Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 24f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
4	4 (4) (3/1 +40%) Dalileo	3 3/1(+40%)	(4) Dalileo 3/1, Sole success came at this track (2½m) in 2021 and he made frame on four of first 5 starts last year. Has found his feet for current yard, finding only one too good over C&D 17 days ago. Has to be of major interest. Ex-Irish; 1-22 over hurdles; good C&D second 17 days ago; one to consider.
6	6 (6) (4/1 +20%) Ultra Violet	4 4/1(+20%)	(6) Ultra Violet 4/1, Fairly useful on Flat in France. Not managed to get near that level over hurdles, although has been performing at a consistent level in this grade at the track of late. Maiden over hurdles; creditable runs over C&D on last four starts; each-way chance.
7	7 (7) (5.5/1 +0%) The Longest Day	5.5 5.5/1(+0%)	(7) The Longest Day 5.5/1, Lightly-raced maiden who isn't straightforward, following a runner-up at Southwell in June with a reluctant display back there a month ago. 0-12 over hurdles; below par last time but has a chance on his C&D second in April.
8	8 (8) (6/1 +8%) Doors Breaker	6 6/1(+8%)	(8) Doors Breaker 6/1, Winner at Doncaster in February but only one real effort of note since, often failing to impress with his finishing effort. Fair 3rd at Haydock in April; wind op after and not so good since but could bounce back.
1	1 (1) (6.5/1 -63%) For Jim	6.5 6.5/1(-63%)	(1) For Jim 6.5/1, Uttoxeter winner from 9 lb higher last summer but ended the season badly out of sorts. Bit more like it back from a break when third returned to that venue in June and this represents a slight drop in class. Best run for a while when third at Uttoxeter last time; on a good mark and acts on soft.
3	3 (3) (9/1 +44%) Go Bob Go	9 9/1(+44%)	(3) Go Bob Go 9/1, Finally off the mark in 20.2f course handicap in September. Unseated rider then refused to race here last month so clearly very risky at present despite a confidence-boosting run on the level. 2m4f winner here but refused to race on latest hurdles outing (here); best watched.
10	10 (10) (12/1 +25%) Lusitanien	12 12/1(+25%)	(10) Lusitanien 12/1, Maiden who hasn't offered much encouragement at this venue on his last two starts and looks up against it again from just out of the wights. Not shown much since wind op and a break; 2lb wrong; others have stronger claims.
2	2 (2) (14/1 -100%) Petite Rhapsody	14 14/1(-100%)	(2) Petite Rhapsody 14/1, Seems a less complicated ride than in the past and gained just the second win of his career over 20.2f here in May. Quickly back into his shell since and now back up in trip. Two fair runs over C&D last summer and won over 2m4f here in May; not as good since.
9	9 (9) (28/1 -180%) Confelicity	28 28/1(-180%)	(9) Confelicity 28/1, Unplaced all 3 starts in Irish points and little impact so far over hurdles. Switch to handicaps and marked step up in trip may help her cause. Ex-Irish pointer; modest efforts so far; improvement likely up in trip on handicap debut.

LTO Selection:

14:45 Perth Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 24f Race Class Flow

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

Runner-up over C&D on his most recent run, a 2lb raised mark looks unlikely to stop DALILEO being in the mix and he could be the one to beat dropping in class. That performance was a step in the right direction and Lisa Harrison's inmate gets the vote from For Jim, who kept on for third over an extended 2m7f at Uttoxeter in June. Ultra Violet completes the shortlist.

DALILEO is well handicapped on his Irish form and he produced his best effort for this yard when runner-up over C&D 17 days ago. He now looks primed to strike, possibly at the chief expense of For Jim and Ultra Violet.

Although not at his best recently DOORS BREAKER is back on a good mark and is taken to beat Dalileo and The Longest Day.

15:20 Perth Handicap Chase (Class 5) 24f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
2	2 (2) (3.33/1 +0%) Castletown	3.33 3.33/1(+0%)	(2) Castletown 3.33/1, Unreliable sort but he ended a long losing run in a change of headgear in 8-runner handicap chase over C&D (good) 27 days ago by 3½ lengths from So Be It. Needs to back it up now. Consistent; scored for 2nd time over fences in new headgear over C&D last time; claims.
4	4 (4) (3.33/1 +26%) Spark Of Madness	3.33 3.33/1(+26%)	(4) Spark Of Madness 3.33/1, Course winner who comes here on the back of a good fourth of 8 to Castletown in handicap chase at this C&D (good) 27 days ago. Can give another good account eased 1 lb. Two fair efforts over 3m including 4th to Castletown here last time; place chance.
8	8 (8) (4.5/1 +63%) Henry Brown	4.5 4.5/1(+63%)	(8) Henry Brown 4.5/1, Unreliable sort who turned in a laboured effort when second of 4 in handicap chase at Hexham (24.2f, good) 71 days ago. More is required from 1 lb out of the handicap. 1-23 over fences; has been in fair form this year; on a career-low mark; not out of this.
6	6 (6) (5/1 +0%) So Be It	5 5/1(+0%)	(6) So Be It 5/1, Still low mileage and he recorded a good second of 8 to Castletown in handicap chase over C&D (good) 27 days ago. Enjoys a 5 lb pull with that rival. Big shout. 0-12; creditable 2nd on last 2 starts, latest over C&D behind Castletown; contender.
5	5 (5) (8.5/1 -6%) Get With It	8.5 8.5/1(-6%)	(5) Get With It 8.5/1, Let down by her jumping when only sixth of 8 in handicap chase (13/2) at this C&D (good) 52 days ago. Took this event 12 months ago so can't be ruled out though. Two wins in 2022, one over C&D; not run up to his best this year but on last winning mark.
3	3 (3) (11/1 -83%) Ecossais	11 11/1(-83%)	(3) Ecossais 11/1, It's now 13 runs since his last win in 2021 and he came in only fifth of 7 on the back of a wind op in handicap chase at Stratford (22.6f, good) 17 days ago. Others appeal more. Fair form on last three starts including on first run back after wind op; place chance.
7	7 (7) (12/1 +14%) Dukehill	12 12/1(+14%)	(7) Dukehill 12/1, Point winner who offered some encouragement when fourth in hunter chase at Limerick on Rules debut back in December 2021. However, fit from points he offered little in a pair of chases in June. Looks to be up against it. Irish point winner; best run was when 4th in a hunter chase in 2021; not so good since.
1	1 (1) (33/1 -200%) Rust To Riches	33 33/1(-200%)	(1) Rust To Riches 33/1, Poor maiden on balance. Pulled up in novice chase (66/1) at Kilbeggan (25f, soft) 19 days ago. Tongue strap back on with work to do. Irish point winner; has been rather disappointing since fifth in a hunter chase in May.
9	9 (9) (50/1 -25%) Placedela Concorde	50 50/1(-25%)	(9) Placedela Concorde 50/1, It's now 29 runs since his last win in 2018. Remote last of 3 in handicap chase at Hexham (20.1f, good, 12/1) 46 days ago. Very hard to make a case for. Last win was in 2018; well-beaten third back over fences last time; others appeal more.

LTO Selection:

15:20 Perth Handicap Chase (Class 5) 24f Race Class Flow

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

A comfortable winner over C&D last month, preference is for CASTLETOWN, who could prove tough to pass if anywhere near his recent form. Despite being the veteran in the field here, he should not be dismissed for powerful connections, even though he has gone up 5lb for the aforementioned success. So Be It finished in second behind the selection on that occasion and could get closer to him now 5lb better off, while Henry Brown is another to consider.

A few of these arrive with question marks against them but SO BE IT is knocking on the door and with few miles still on the clock he can gain his breakthrough win at the chief expense of in-form course scorer Spark of Madness. Last year's winner Get With It is another who can have a say.

Following a series of decent efforts, SO BE IT is taken to get off the mark by reversing recent C&D form with Castletown.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
6	6 (6) (2.25/1 +63%) Jackhammer	2.25 2.25/1(+63%)	(6) Jackhammer 2.25/1, Winner on the Flat in June and posted a solid second back in this sphere at Cartmel 11 days ago. Remains unexposed over fences so he can't be ruled out. Back to form recently, winning on the Flat before good 2nd over fences at Cartmel; chance.
7	7 (7) (3.5/1 +36%) Check My Pulse	3.5 3.5/1(+36%)	(7) Check My Pulse 3.5/1, Got off the mark over fences at Carlisle (2m) in October. Caught the eye when fourth in 2m Hexham handicap chase last time, finishing strongly having been hampered on the home turn. Tongue tied. Big shout off an easing mark. Back on a good mark but not been in top form recently and further rain a negative.
10	10 (10) (4/1 +60%) Pittsburg	4 4/1(+60%)	(10) Pittsburg 4/1, Arrives on back of a creditable fourth of 9 in handicap hurdle at Worcester (16f, good to soft) 4 days ago. Not discounted returned to this sphere. Fair 5th at Fakenham on last chase run; quite interesting unless the going turns soft..
1	1 (1) (6/1 -33%) Restandbethankful	6 6/1(-33%)	(1) Restandbethankful 6/1, Unreliable individual who finally got off the mark over fences at Market Rasen in June only to come in sixth of 9 there (19.2f, good) 24 days ago. Others are more persuasive. Won over 2m3f at Market Rasen in June; not so good next time; return to 2m could suit.
8	8 (8) (9/1 -80%) Konik King	9 9/1(-80%)	(8) Konik King 9/1, Went backwards from his chasing debut when seventh of 8 in handicap chase at Hexham (15.6f, good) 46 days ago. Still low mileage so he's worth another chance. Ex-Irish; good third after wind op on stable debut in May; below par latest.
5	5 (5) (11/1 +21%) Ardera Cross	11 11/1(+21%)	(5) Ardera Cross 11/1, In good form until pulled up in handicap chase at Cartmel in the mud 11 days ago. Can bounce back. Two wins at Ayr in February; not quite as good since but back on a fair mark; acts on soft.
11	11 (11) (14/1 +44%) Ingleby Mackenzie	14 14/1(+44%)	(11) Ingleby Mackenzie 14/1, Fair handicap chaser in Ireland for Henry de Bromhead but yet to threaten for new yard. Has lots to prove. Last win was more than two years ago and has plenty to prove from 3lb out of the h'cap.
9	9 (9) (18/1 -29%) Monoxide	18 18/1(-29%)	(9) Monoxide 18/1, Remains a maiden after 26 runs but still close up when unseated rider 3 out in handicap chase at Cartmel (17.3f, good to soft) 31 days ago. Can give a good account. 0-26 over jumps; fourth over 2m5f at Cartmel in June; significant rain a negative.

LTO Selection:

15:55 Perth Handicap Chase (Class 5) 16f Race Class Flow

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

JACKHAMMER only found one too good in a similar event at Cartmel 11 days ago and a reproduction of that level of form would give him a big chance here, despite a 2lb rise. Restandbethankful disappointed last time but is a player based on his previous victory at Market Rasen, while Check My Pulse and Monoxide are others who make the shortlist.

A few with chances but CHECK MY PULSE really caught the eye when a fast-finishing fourth at Hexham last time and can capitalise on an easing mark. Irish-challenger Monoxide could emerge as the main danger, with Jackhammer and Pittsburg appealing as the pick of the rest in the fight for minor honours.

Having come back to form recently JACKHAMMER, who acts on any ground, is taken to beat Pittsburg.

2	2 (2) (1.38/1 +31%) Garde Des Champs	1.38 1.38/1(+31%)	(2) Garde Des Champs 1.38/1, Knocking on the door and showed improved form to get off the mark in convincing fashion at this C&D (good) just under 6 weeks ago. Hiked up 10 lb for that success but conditional negates half that rise and this his first outing since leaving Keith Dalgleish. Wide-margin C&D winner on final start for Keith Dalgleish; 10lb rise asks a lot of him.
5	5 (5) (3.33/1 -11%) Well Planted	3.33 3.33/1(-11%)	(5) Well Planted 3.33/1, C&D winner last June and having trailed in last of 6 on the Flat at Musselburgh in June, ran creditably back over hurdles when runner-up over C&D last month (upsides last and held only late on). Can get involved nudged up 1 lb. Placed over C&D on last two hurdle starts; player if ground is no worse than good to soft.
6	6 (6) (5/1 -43%) Mcgowan's Pass	5 5/1(-43%)	(6) Mcgowan's Pass 5/1, Sixteen runs since last win in 2020 but arrives in good heart, not beaten far when third at Market Rasen (16.6f, soft) 11 days ago. Not getting any younger but could be ready to strike, so he needs considering. No win since 2020 but consistent since the winter and rain will aid his cause.
1	1 (1) (5/1 +44%) Cirque Royal	5 5/1(+44%)	(1) Cirque Royal 5/1, Irish raider who scored in a maiden hurdle over C&D in May 2022. Well beaten on his last 3 starts (including on the Flat), though possibly needed the outing after 9 months off at Downpatrick in June. Sent off favourite for last year's Summer Hurdle, so he's not discounted. Made low-key seasonal debut in June but has claims on last year's novice form.
3	3 (3) (12/1 -33%) Willyouwalkwithme	12 12/1(-33%)	(3) Willyouwalkwithme 12/1, In good form prior to below-par sixth at Sligo last month. Has since left Harry Smyth and market support should be noted on his first start across the Irish Sea. Not at best last time but was in good form in the spring and has a fighting chance here.
4	4 (4) (14/1 -100%) Harel Du Marais	14 14/1(-100%)	(4) Harel Du Marais 14/1, Has had several chances but remains a maiden after 8 hurdle runs. Dropped back to 2m for this handicap debut but others look stronger on the face of it. Didn't run badly in Downpatrick maiden in June but will need to up his game here.
7	7 (7) (50/1 -25%) Frightened Rabbit	50 50/1(-25%)	(7) Frightened Rabbit 50/1, Capitalised on a falling mark in re-fitted cheekpieces at Hexham in May 2022 but well beaten on all 3 subsequent outings. Returns after 11 months off for a new yard and percentage call is to look elsewhere. Six-time winner over hurdles but out of form when last seen last summer; stable debut.

LTO Selection:

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

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

GARDE DES CHAMPS was an impressive 11-length winner over C&D when last seen in June and the seven-year-old is hard to oppose on the back of that performance. Well Planted also ran well over this track and trip on his most recent outing, finishing second a month ago, and he could prove to be the main threat. That said, Mcgowan's Pass and Harel Du Marais could also go well.

Garde des Champs is sure to be popular after his recent breakthrough success over C&D but he may have to play second fiddle to veteran MCGOWAN'S PASS, who hasn't won for a long time but deserves plenty of credit for consistency and signalled he could be ready to strike when going close at Market Rasen 11 days ago. Well Planted and Cirque Royal can battle out third spot.

Confidence in WELL PLANTED will waver if there is significant rain but he ran well over C&D last month and is still on a workable mark.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
6	6 (6) (1/1 -75%) Wrecking Ballbilly	1 1/1(-75%)	(6) Wrecking Ballbilly 1/1, Showed plenty when runner-up at Killarney on debut 80 days ago. This doesn't look as strong a race and he has an experience edge over most, so leading claims. Creditable second of 14 at Killarney in May and probably sets a fairly good standard here.
4	4 (4) (1.88/1 +37%) Al Kalila	1.88 1.88/1(+37%)	(4) Al Kalila 1.88/1, €85,000 3-y-o, Soldier of Fortune gelding. Dam (h94), maiden hurdler (stayed 2¾m), half-sister to French hurdler/chase winner up to 2¼m Nikoline. Highly respected on debut. Out of a half-sister to a French Grade 3 winner; stable does very well in British bumpers.
1	1 (1) (6/1 +50%) Aughafatten	6 6/1(+50%)	(1) Aughafatten 6/1, Mahler gelding. Brother to useful hurdler/chaser Delusionofgrandeur, stayed 29f. Dam 7f-1¼m winner. Makes plenty of appeal on paper. Led close home to win Irish point in May; considered each-way on rules debut.
3	3 (3) (12/1 +70%) We Got Your Back	12 12/1(+70%)	(3) We Got Your Back 12/1, €40,000 3-y-o, Kayf Tara gelding. Half-brother to 2 winners, including useful hurdler/chaser Smarty Wild, stays 3m. Unplaced completed start in points (Mar 12). Displayed clear promise in both Irish points; makes rules debut today.
7	7 (7) (28/1 -133%) Balfour Girl	28 28/1(-133%)	(7) Balfour Girl 28/1, Jack Hobbs filly. Dam no impact sole start in bumpers/over hurdles. Others are more appealing unless the market speaks in her favour. First foal from close relative of fair 3m hurdle winner Blairgowrie; stable 8% in bumpers.
8	8 (8) (40/1 -100%) Sing My Story	40 40/1(-100%)	(8) Sing My Story 40/1, Shantaram filly. Sister to fair 25f hurdle winner/fairly useful staying chaser Your Own Story. Dam unraced half-sister to fair hurdler/top-class chaser (stayed 29f) Joe Lively. Wears tongue strap. From a good family but will probably need time and distance. Out of half-sister to high-class chaser Joe Lively; may be stable's second string.
2	2 (2) (66/1 -164%) Lifetime Adventure	66 66/1(-164%)	(2) Lifetime Adventure 66/1, Only hinted at ability on two starts for Stuart Crawford and a lot more is required if he's to feature in this. Safely held in two Kilbeggan bumpers for Stuart Crawford this spring; now with new stable.

LTO Selection:

17:02 Perth NH Flat Race (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

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

WRECKING BALLBILLY hit the crossbar on his debut at Killarney in May and the son of Youmzain could be hard to beat with the benefit of that experience under his belt. Al Kalila represents powerful connections and this 85,000-euro purchase has to be of some interest on his racecourse bow, while Balfour Girl and Sing My Story are other debutants who merit a market inspection.

WRECKING BALLBILLY offered plenty to work on when second at Killarney first time out and, while he's been off 80 days subsequently, he's worth a chance to go one better. Al Kalila is an interesting newcomer for a stable that does well in this sphere and Aughafatten is one to note if strong in the betting.

The most obvious answer is WRECKING BALLBILLY, who made a very promising debut at Killarney in May.

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.
