UK Horse Racing Tips: Perth

There has been plenty to like about OLIVERS TRAVELS' two victories in bumpers and Peter Bowen's gelding should take some stopping if taking to hurdles at the first time of asking. Harel Du Marais wasn't disgraced when finishing third on his handicap debut over C&D and may put his experience to good use to give the selection most to think about. Here Comes Georgie and Belle Of Annandale are other jumping newcomers who are worth noting.
Prediction : 1st Olivers Travels 2nd Harel Du Marais 3rd Here Comes Georgie

A DIFFERENT KIND has relished the return to this sort of trip and a 4lb rise for his latest triumph at Uttoxeter may not be enough to prevent the six-year-old from completing a hat-trick. Champ De Gane often runs his race but has yet to get his head in front, with a bigger threat perhaps emerging in the shape of Silver Sheen, who enjoys an 11lb pull with the selection on his runner-up effort last time out.
Prediction : 1st A Different Kind 2nd Silver Sheen 3rd Champ De Gane

LIVERPOOL KNIGHT has proved a different proposition since returning to hurdling last month, with Olly Murphy's gelding appearing on a fair mark now tackling a handicap in this sphere for the first time. Well Planted is only 5lb higher for his recent C&D triumph and can't be discounted in his current mood. Too Friendly beat Castel Gandolfo in a competitive affair at Market Rasen and both are likely to be involved at the finish too.
Prediction : 1st Liverpool Knight 2nd Well Planted 3rd Too Friendly

The booking of Brian Hughes to ride last-start Hexham second Jimmy Rabbitte catches the eye, but he may have to settle for another place if RIVER OF JOY continues to progress. She has won her last two starts, over two miles at Ffos Las and two and a half miles at Southwell when running on strongly, suggesting this step up in trip may suit on her handicap bow. Red Happy drops in class on his return to hurdles and could be a surprise package.
Prediction : 1st River Of Joy 2nd Red Happy 3rd Jimmy Rabbitte

Lucinda Russell won this in 2018 and has a chance to do so again with the consistent CASTLETOWN, a C&D winner last month and only beaten half a length here subsequently after idling close home. If he is held up for a later challenge, he may come out on top, although the hat-trick seeking Judge Earle is a major danger, for all that he does have another 8lb after making all at Worcester. Hermann Clermont drops in class following wind surgery and could run a decent race.
Prediction : 1st Castletown 2nd Judge Earle 3rd Hermann Clermont

BORN FAMOUS arrived from Ireland as a maiden under Rules but she has been a revelation since joining Iain Jardine and is unbeaten in five appearances, three over fences and two over hurdles. She does need to shrug off a career-high mark, but she remains better handicapped over hurdles and may have another win in her. Malangen is potentially sitting pretty nearer the bottom of the weights and can go close now returning to a more suitable trip. Adamaris could also get involved.
Prediction : 1st Born Famous 2nd Malangen 3rd Adamaris
