UK Horse Racing Tips: Perth

Gordon Elliott sends TED HASTINGS over to continue his rich vein of form and it would be no surprise to see the six-year-old continue his ascendancy. The gelding brushed aside his rivals with consummate ease last time out and he gets the nod to repeat that feat. Fenna's Loss got off the mark at the first time of asking over obstacles and rates the most immediate danger, while Battle Of Toro can follow them home.
Prediction : 1st Ted Hastings 2nd Fennas Loss 3rd Battle Of Toro

BYZANTINE EMPIRE relished the switch to the larger obstacles when landing the spoils in emphatic style on his chase debut last month. The five-year-old received an 8lb rise for that win and may be able to defy that and continue in good form. Restandbethankful was no match for the selection at Southwell and may follow him home yet again, while The Greek completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Byzantine Empire 2nd Restandbethankful 3rd The Greek

In this competitive contest marginal preference is for BALLYQUIN BAY, who found only one rival too strong last time out. Although he failed to justify favouritism on that occasion, he may appreciate this step back in trip and make amends. Iddergem gave a good account on his hurdling debut last time out and must be considered, while Sula Warrior is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Ballyquin Bay 2nd Iddergem 3rd Sula Warrior

Gordon Elliott is responsible for two of the three runners in this field and recent C&D winner HERMANN CLERMONT is preferred. Having had just five starts over the larger obstacles, he could have more to offer, while Torygraph, who has struggled over fences, needs to improve considerably. Fire Away is 1lb lower than when scoring at Carlisle in May and looks the biggest danger.
Prediction : 1st Hermann Clermont 2nd Fire Away 3rd Torygraph

GLEN AVA confirmed her liking for this C&D when making it three wins from as many starts earlier this month. A 4lb rise in the weights could prove lenient and she's taken to add another success to her tally. Keepthefaithinme finished a good second off this mark on his latest outing and could go well up in distance, while Moonlight Beam shouldn't be underestimated.
Prediction : 1st Glen Ava 2nd Keepthefaithinme 3rd Moonlight Beam

FRIARY ROCK returned from two months off the track when fourth over hurdles at Southwell and the seven-year-old makes plenty of appeal on his first chase start for Laura Morgan, having won a beginners' chase at Wexford last July. Raddle And Hum was second here over 3m on her latest outing and a wind operation might yield further improvement, while Pardon Me is capable of better following her recent efforts.
Prediction : 1st Friary Rock 2nd Raddle And Hum 3rd Pardon Me

LEOPOLDS ROCK won on his penultimate start at Uttoxeter before finishing third at the same track under a penalty. This doesn't appear to be the strongest of events on paper and he looks to have been found an excellent opportunity to get back to winning ways. Into The Sunset is capable of better following his recent third at Worcester, while Flighty Bride completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Leopolds Rock 2nd Into The Sunset 3rd Flighty Bride
