UK Horse Racing Tips: Perth

PARK ANNONCIADE shaped with promise over an extended 2m1f on his hurdling bow in June, where he weakened late on to fill the runner-up spot. Simon Crawford's charge ought to have learned plenty from that experience, though, and this looks a good opportunity to go one better down in trip. Ve Day appeals as his main danger, while market support for newcomer Gold Terms would be interesting.
Prediction : 1st Park Annonciade 2nd Ve Day 3rd Gold Terms

CHAMP DE GANE has yet to open his account after 15 starts, but the Kapgarde gelding has been running well over the larger obstacles recently. He sets the standard on official ratings and he could be hard to pass if running to form. Having been narrowly denied at Downpatrick last month, Bayonetta ought to be on the premises, along with dual point-to-point winner Dripsey Moon.
Prediction : 1st Champ De Gane 2nd Bayonetta 3rd Dripsey Moon

Presentandcounting will be a threat to all if able to dominate from the front, but with Hidden Commander likely to press the pace it might be worth siding with GOLDEN TAIPAN. The largely consistent nine-year-old ought to get a good tow into the race and his recent C&D second would suggest he might be ready to record a fourth chase success.
Prediction : 1st Golden Taipan 2nd Presentandcounting 3rd Hidden Commander

Basford is respected given he arrives on the back of winning three of his last four starts. However, he has a 7lb penalty to contend with and may meet his match in the shape of ANIGHTINLAMBOURN, who won over fences at Cheltenham off 7lb higher last November. Ben Pauling's mare is well treated back over timber and may find more with the cheekpieces retained. C&D winner Dinoland completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Anightinlambourn 2nd Basford 3rd Dinoland

SWORD OF FATE sets the standard on the back of his C&D second to subsequent Summer Plate winner Born Famous last month and, while he was well held by that rival, he faces nothing of that calibre in here and could be hard to beat. Sea Prince goes well at this course and can give the selection plenty to think about, while Lough Carra is open to improvement over fences.
Prediction : 1st Sword Of Fate 2nd Sea Prince 3rd Lough Carra

JUST DOTTIE, who won a handicap hurdle against her own sex off 5lb lower here in May, has a lot going for her in this company and her proven liking for this circuit could be a crucial factor. A good tempo will ideally suit the selection but, with no obvious pace angle, she is versatile enough to make the running. Love Mystery has scope to improve in this discipline and is feared most, while recent Hexham winner Pateen also commands respect.
Prediction : 1st Just Dottie 2nd Love Mystery 3rd Pateen
