UK Horse Racing Tips: Perth

BANJAXED was highly tried following his maiden hurdle second at Navan in January, as he finished fifth in a Grade 2 at Kelso before pulling up at Fairyhouse last month. This is a much easier assignment and the six-year-old is capable of getting off the mark. Kansas City Star is likely to chase home the selection having filled the runner-up spot at Tipperary on his latest start, while Bayonetta appears best of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Banjaxed 2nd Kansas City Star 3rd Bayonetta

SOMEWHAT CLOUDY has improved her form in two starts over fences, winning at Market Rasen before finishing third at Wetherby, and Donald McCain's mare is capable of taking another step forward. Fostered Phil was consistent in handicap hurdles during the winter months and sports a tongue-tie for his chase debut. He is capable of being in the mix, while Thistlebuffs and Glentruan appeal most of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Somewhat Cloudy 2nd Fostered Phil 3rd Thistlebuffs

BALLIN BAY ran with credit on his handicap debut when third at Sedgefield and it wouldn't be a surprise to see connections opt to use more forceful tactics over this shorter distance. Arnica wasn't disgraced when fourth over C&D last month and may benefit from the application of a visor for the first time. Cool Croi is of interest stepping up in trip.
Prediction : 1st Ballin Bay 2nd Arnica 3rd Cool Croi

A chance can be taken on JUMPING JET, who shed her maiden tag on her penultimate start at Leopardstown over 2m4f when beating a subsequent winner by over two lengths. Therefore, the daughter of Getaway is fancied to show up well on her handicap bow for the Gordon Elliott yard. Nowinittowinit got up by a short head at this track to record her first career success and could improve for the step up to this distance, while Fly By Milan isn't ruled out either.
Prediction : 1st Jumping Jet 2nd Nowinittowinit 3rd Fly By Milan

CARDBOARD GANGSTER finished a long way clear of the third when filling the runner-up spot at Stratford over 3m3f last time, and a 4lb rise in the weights may not be enough to prevent him from going one place better. The main danger looks to be Born Famous, who makes her first start in this sphere for her new trainer Iain Jardine after scoring by just under a length over hurdles at this track last month. Victory Echo completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Cardboard Gangster 2nd Born Famous 3rd Victory Echo

Second in this last year before going on to bolt up at Kelso next time out, STEELY ADDITION arrives following back-to-back successes in the point-to-point sphere and looks set to add to his tally back under Rules. Shanroe Street, who unseated in the corresponding event, appeals as the main danger, while Shaughnessy is fancied to follow them home ahead of So Be It.
Prediction : 1st Steely Addition 2nd Shanroe Street 3rd Shaughnessy

Petite Rhapsody bolted up over C&D off 10lb lower last year and has since shaped with enough promise to suggest he's capable of winning off his current mark, so must be respected. Agilulf remains unexposed in this sphere and can't be ruled out, though he will need to put a recent unseat behind him. Don Brocco is another worthy of consideration, but preference is for SANOSUKE. Having dropped in the handicap, he finished second here last month and a similar performance may well suffice.
Prediction : 1st Sanosuke 2nd Agilulf 3rd Petite Rhapsody
