UK Horse Racing Tips: Perth

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.
Prediction : 1st Bleu Denfer 2nd Invictus World 3rd Jem In Em

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.
Prediction : 1st Fusain 2nd Universal Folly 3rd Huelgoat

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.
Prediction : 1st Sword Of Fate 2nd Ashington 3rd Corrigeen Rock

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.
Prediction : 1st Regal Blue 2nd Hitching Jacking 3rd Makinyourmindup

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.
Prediction : 1st Brides Hill 2nd Pink Legend 3rd Kapard

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.
Prediction : 1st Autumn Return 2nd Notnowlinda 3rd Headscarf Lil

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.
Prediction : 1st Fortcanyon 2nd Lastofthecosmics 3rd Red Missile
