UK Horse Racing Tips: Perth

CLODDERS DREAM won in a pleasing manner over 2m3f at Clonmel on his penultimate start and, far from disgraced when third under a penalty over 3m1f at Kilbeggan last time, there could be plenty more to come from this improving six-year-old back at this sort of trip. Bishop Hill has shown a liking for this venue and, with a hood added, she can at least match the two placed efforts she has posted over this C&D on her last two starts. Hurdles debutant Highland Fashion completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Clodders Dream 2nd Bishop Hill 3rd Highland Fashion

NORTHERN CARDINAL posted his best effort so far when finishing runner-up in a deeper handicap hurdle over this C&D on his most recent start and, having undergone wind surgery since, this could be a good time to catch Lucinda Russell's five-year-old. Dapper Gent has a similar profile from races elsewhere and rates a player from a workable mark. Foxwood and Marty Mcfly are a couple of other likely improvers to consider.
Prediction : 1st Northern Cardinal 2nd Dapper Gent 3rd Foxwood

Irish raider Muhtaluza is unexposed and merits consideration for the powerful Gordon Elliott yard, while Malangen and Aldbourne also rate as shortlist material at this level and signals from the betting market should be heeded where those three are concerned. However, handicap debutant KINBARA FIRSTDRAFT offers the most intrigue on these terms and is fancied to build on last month's third-placed finish over C&D from an attractive opening mark. Kilbrainy goes well fresh and is also feared.
Prediction : 1st Kinbara Firstdraft 2nd Muhtaluza 3rd Malangen

Having produced a taking display when landing the spoils at Hereford last month, Fix At All must enter calculations racing off only a 6lb higher rating. However, the eight-year-old may prove vulnerable to the fast-improving GOD'S OWN GETAWAY. The Dan Skelton-trained gelding is chasing a third victory over fences on just his fourth appearance in this sphere and he's taken to further enhance his tally. Any market support for Irish raider Motown Maggie would be interesting.
Prediction : 1st Gods Own Getaway 2nd Fix At All 3rd Motown Maggie

HANG IN THERE returned to action with a very respectable second in the Grade 2 Silver Trophy at Cheltenham in April. A 1lb drop in the ratings looks lenient for Emma Lavelle's charge and he should take plenty of beating if handling this step up in distance. Duffle Coat is also sure to prove popular after his ready triumph in the Mayo National at Ballinrobe and he is feared most, ahead of fellow last-time-out winner Karl Philippe.
Prediction : 1st Hang In There 2nd Duffle Coat 3rd Karl Philippe

A first-time visor proved just the tonic for last month's Kelso scorer NO REGRETS and he could be capable of following up. A 4lb rise is more than fair for Nicky Richards' inmate and he shades the verdict over Giovanni Change, who is unexposed in this sphere and his reappearance third over hurdles at Market Rasen should have put him spot-on. Cap Du Nord and Everyday Champagne are also noted.
Prediction : 1st No Regrets 2nd Giovanni Change 3rd Cap Du Nord

DEQUALL was denied by a short head at Hexham last month and he only has a 2lb higher rating to contend with. Stuart Coltherd's eight-year-old remains on a dangerous mark and can get his head back in front. The main threat might be Euchan Falls, who filled the runner-up berth over 2m4f here before another solid second over fences, also at this venue. Of the remainder, Fever Dream makes the most appeal.
Prediction : 1st Dequall 2nd Euchan Falls 3rd Fever Dream

Diamond State had River Ayr just behind when third over 2m4f here and he was kindly dropped 2lb for that effort, but he will need to prove he is effective over this distance. With that in mind, he can be taken on with MAURA JEANNE. The seven-year-old mare hit the line well to finish fourth over an extended 3m2f here and she can capitalise on the drop in grade off a 2lb lower mark. Watchoutitscookie can pick up any pieces.
Prediction : 1st Maura Jeanne 2nd Diamond State 3rd Watchoutitscookie
