UK Horse Racing Tips: Perth

DEPLOY TO SPY bolted up by five lengths at Uttoxeter in July and he is likely to have plenty more to offer on only his third start over hurdles. Olly Murphy's six-year-old has a 7lb penalty to carry but considering the manner of his victory last time, he could still prove tough to beat. Tommys Law has hit the crossbar on each of his last two starts and he should go well again, while Chief Sunday is worth a market check on his first start over the smaller obstacles.
Prediction : 1st Deploy To Spy 2nd Tommys Law 3rd Chief Sunday

FOUROFAKIND was a shock winner when accounting for his nearest rival by three lengths over track and trip last month and he is only 6lb higher for that triumph. Following a respectable effort on the Flat at York, Lizzie Quinlan's five-year-old has lots in his favour and is taken to record a hurdles double. Vocal Duke made the frame in a tougher contest than this at Catterick last time and he could have a say off a 1lb higher mark. Of the remainder, Matchless makes the most appeal.
Prediction : 1st Fourofakind 2nd Vocal Duke 3rd Matchless

BOWLING BUDDY took a pleasant step forward to justify short odds in style at Cartmel on his latest outing and the son of Ask now makes his handicap debut. Olly Murphy's charge has far from reached his ceiling yet and it would be no surprise to see him defy his opening mark of 110. Cuban Cigar had Ravenscraig Castle (third) behind when finishing second over track and trip earlier in the month and he is expected to confirm that form to prove the biggest threat to the selection.
Prediction : 1st Bowling Buddy 2nd Cuban Cigar 3rd Ravenscraig Castle

KINONDO KWETU arrives here on a hat-trick after wins at Uttoxeter and most recently over 2m7f at Worcester, and he appears primed to add to his winning thread. The eight-years-old has been raised 3lb for that latest two-length success which doesn't appear likely to halt his progression. Fellow last-time-out winner Wasdell Dundalk scored over C&D earlier this month and another bold bid can be expected, while Inis Oirr is worthy of consideration if he can bounce back to form after falling in the Scottish National at Ayr in April.
Prediction : 1st Kinondo Kwetu 2nd Wasdell Dundalk 3rd Inis Oirr

This represents a good opportunity for THANK YOU BLUE to get off the mark over the larger obstacles at the fifth time of asking. Jennie Candlish's runner ran on well for third over 2m4f at Worcester earlier this month and, with a more enterprising ride, he could be a tough nut to crack. Blow The Budget was beaten just two lengths off this mark over the extended 2m4f at Market Rasen on her penultimate start in May and a repeat of that form would see her in the shake-up, while a return to form for Indian Louis would see him on the scene.
Prediction : 1st Thank You Blue 2nd Blow The Budget 3rd Indian Louis

Having returned to form with a solid third over track and trip earlier this month, dual C&D winner Prince Nino warrants consideration racing off an unchanged mark. Reopposing rival Pateen landed the spoils on that occasion and, although the veteran hasn't always proved the most consistent in the past, he cannot be dismissed off a 5lb higher rating. However, it could be worth taking a punt on Irish raider TURKEY AND HAM, who arrives on the back of creditable defeats at Uttoxeter and Kilbeggan, and this return to 2m4f may prove fruitful.
Prediction : 1st Turkey And Ham 2nd Prince Nino 3rd Pateen

Although Ithaka has largely been out of form in eight outings since landing a gamble at Wincanton in March 2023, the eight-year-old is worth watching in the market on this long journey north. Regardless, LENEBANE has filled the runner-up spot on her last two appearances at Market Rasen and a 3lb higher rating may not be enough to prevent Rebecca Menzies' mare from going one better here. Inspector Lynley and One Step Up are other key contenders.
Prediction : 1st Lenebane 2nd Ithaka 3rd Inspector Lynley
