UK Horse Racing Tips: Perth

Luckie Seven backed up the promise he showed in bumpers when scoring on his hurdling debut over 2m4f at this venue last time, but this drop in trip is a slight concern. With that in mind, the vote goes to GERS GIGI, who justified favouritism in a decisive manner at Sligo on her latest outing and may prove very hard to stop under Sean Bowen. Byron Hill was second in a C&D maiden last month and also merits consideration.
Prediction : 1st Gers Gigi 2nd Luckie Seven 3rd Byron Hill

Jerrash finished well clear of the third when filling the runner-up spot in this grade at Cartmel last month and he should remain competitive off 3lb higher. However, preference is for DRIPSEY MOON, who beat the majority of this field over track and trip last month and he boasts leading claims of confirming that form in order to record a double. Parisencore was second to the selection in that contest and is one to take seriously.
Prediction : 1st Dripsey Moon 2nd Jerrash 3rd Parisencore

LEADING LION comfortably took care of his nearest rival by over four lengths at Bellewstown on his latest outing and the four-year-old may have more to offer in this sphere. Gordon Elliott's charge looks to have lots in his favour and could prove very tough to stop. Four-time course winner Malangen made the frame at this level over 2m4f here last month and has to be considered off the same mark, while Here Comes Georgie is another to note after his C&D victory last time.
Prediction : 1st Leading Lion 2nd Malangen 3rd Here Comes Georgie

Having proved a different proposition in first-time cheekpieces at Worcester in July, Olivers Travels supplemented that victory when following up over the same C&D in August. However, a further 8lb rise in the ratings demands another career-best performance from the six-year-old and THE GYPSY DAVEY edges the vote. Evan Williams' gelding arrives on the back of a close-up second at Market Rasen and a 1lb rise looks workable. Irish raider Sea Aster is also noted.
Prediction : 1st The Gypsy Davey 2nd Olivers Travels 3rd Sea Aster

League Clash offered something to work with on his third-placed stable debut over an extended 3m2f at Newton Abbot last month and this drop in trip brings him into calculations. The Gordon Elliott-trained Gina Moon makes her handicap bow off what looks a workable mark. Nevertheless, WINDS OF WINTER catches the eye on her opening bid for Iain Jardine. The six-year-old only weakened in the closing stages when sixth over 3m at Tipperary in July and she's taken to open her account.
Prediction : 1st Winds Of Winter 2nd League Clash 3rd Gina Moon

Although Grain Of Hope has plenty to prove judged on her Flat/NH defeats this year, market support must be noted now that she is under the tutelage of Gordon Elliott. That said,, SUMMERGROUNDS looks the most solid proposition having posted a solid third at Market Rasen in June. The eight-year-old scored at that same venue off a 215-day layoff in May, so this absence is of no concern. Handicap debutant Twoplacesatonetime also warrants consideration.
Prediction : 1st Summergrounds 2nd Grain Of Hope 3rd Twoplacesatonetime

Gino Drummer Boy has to be of some interest but a market watch may be the best guide to his chances as he steps up to this trip for the first time. Iron Heart also has to be considered despite top weight, but they may both struggle to get the better of the hat-trick seeking BULLION BOSS. His C&D win last month was only narrow, but connections may revert to more patient tactics on this occasion and that may suit him better.
Prediction : 1st Bullion Boss 2nd Gino Drummer Boy 3rd Iron Heart

GENERAL HUBBLE returns to hurdles for his second start since joining Gordon Elliott and he could be hard to stop following a third over fences at Killarney last month. He may have too many guns over this trip for Jimli's Island, who won here over fences in August. Paddy Elvis was a respectable third at Down Royal last month and is another Irish raider worthy of serious consideration.
Prediction : 1st General Hubble 2nd Jimlis Island 3rd Paddy Elvis
