UK Horse Racing Tips: Perth

Although unseating his rider at the second last hurdle at Downpatrick last month, STEP OUT looked likely to play a leading role in the finish. Previous efforts in defeat in this discipline suggest that the five-year-old should take plenty of beating and a first career success could be on the cards. The biggest threat may emerge from the Rebecca Menzies-trained Lady Mendoza, who was beaten only two lengths when third at Cartmel in May. Hurdles debutant Backdoorflush is also noted.
Prediction : 1st Step Out 2nd Lady Mendoza 3rd Backdoorflush

Having recorded a double at Perth's last meeting, Christian Williams has his horses in good form and TONTO FOLEY could be worth siding with. The Vendangeur gelding arrives on the back of a third-placed finish at Newton Abbot and edges the vote over Tessy Lad. The five-year-old made a promising chase bow when runner-up at Market Rasen recently and another bold showing looks likely. Malpas may fare best of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Tonto Foley 2nd Tessy Lad 3rd Malpas

Last month's Worcester fifth Galata Bridge shaped as if a return to 2m4f would suit and the seven-year-old must enter calculations. However, four-time course winner MALANGEN found only a progressive rival too strong over C&D earlier this month and Lisa Harrison's gelding may be able to defy a 5lb higher rating. The class-dropping The Churchill Lad also makes some appeal.
Prediction : 1st Malangen 2nd Galata Bridge 3rd The Churchill Lad

Dinons was returning from a 727-day absence when he made all to win over timber at Hexham last month and, competitively weighted in comparison to past chasing form, the veteran rates a key player back over fences on just his second start for the Brian Ellison yard. However, it won't be easy to successfully concede 10lb to fellow last-time-out winner NO REGRETS. Cap Du Nord rates the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st No Regrets 2nd Dinons 3rd Cap Du Nord

FEVER DREAM is steadily improving and having very comfortably rewarded strong market support when scoring over this course and distance last month, the Christian Williams-trained gelding is progressive enough to cope with a 12lb higher mark. Buy Some Time was a surprise winner when he also came good over C&D last time out and commands respect off 8lb higher. Jeteye and Dalileo are suggested as the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Fever Dream 2nd Buy Some Time 3rd Jeteye

GLOBAL ESTEEM is fancied to build on his good form this year. On the back of three consecutive placed efforts over timber, the selection is a highly appealing option with Jack Hogan claiming 3lb in the plate. A C&D winner in May, Just Dottie is feared most off the same mark as when a respectable third at Uttoxeter latest. No Recollection and Trailblazer can also go well.
Prediction : 1st Global Esteem 2nd Just Dottie 3rd No Recollection
