UK Horse Racing Tips: Perth

7lb separates MONGIBELLO and Magic McColgan on official ratings and although the former has been a little disappointing on her last two starts, the Authorized mare can bounce back at the scene of her sole hurdling triumph to date. That is by no means to dismiss the chances of Willie Mullins' charge, but a bit more will be needed to come out on top. Visual Impact has a bit to find with the two principals, but she ought to be thereabouts in receipt of 7lb.
Prediction : 1st Mongibello 2nd Magic McColgan 3rd Visual Impact

KAPAL LAYAR bumped into the progressive My Friend Sean at Uttoxeter in January before opening his account in comfortable fashion the following month. That reads well in the context of this race and there is certain to be more in the locker. Returning to quicker ground suited Exeter scorer Koukeo last time and he is respected, along with the Jeremy Scott-trained The Sainted Canary.
Prediction : 1st Kapal Layar 2nd Koukeo 3rd The Sainted Canary

Hara Kiri completed his hat-trick at Leicester in December and given his versatility regarding ground, he merits the utmost respect ahead of his return from a break. However, preference is afforded to AILT AN CHORRAIN, who made it two from four over hurdles when on target in a novice at Newcastle last month. His current mark of 112 looks well within range and should conditions quicken, he will not need to prove himself. Savant Du Mesnil completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Ailt An Chorrain 2nd Hara Kiri 3rd Savant Du Mesnil

LADY IN THE PARK appeared to find an extended 2m3f distance on the sharp side when finishing fourth over hurdles at Wetherby in February. Lucinda Russell's mare makes plenty of appeal reverting to chasing in first-time blinkers and a first victory over fences could be on the cards. Peter & Michael Bowen-trained runners always warrant respect at this venue and their representative Siberian Star is feared most, ahead of Pitwood Road.
Prediction : 1st Lady In The Park 2nd Siberian Star 3rd Pitwood Road

A change of scenery worked just the trick for HIDDEN HISTORY when making a winning stable bow at Uttoxeter last month. An 7lb higher mark is unlikely the ceiling of the seven-year-old's ability and he's fancied to enhance Dan Skelton's bid for the trainer's championship. An improved bid is forecast from Della Casa Lunga reverting to a right-handed track and handicap company. The Champs Elysees' mare may serve the most resistance to the selection, while last year's winner of this contest Rambo T is the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Hidden History 2nd Della Casa Lunga 3rd Rambo T

Heltenham did little wrong when finishing second at Newton Abbot five days ago and he must enter the reckoning racing off an unchanged mark. However, those exertions may have left their mark on the eight-year-old, which could see TOMMY'S OSCAR capitalising. Ann Hamilton's veteran arrives on the back of a good third in a premier handicap at Ayr and, if seeing out today's 2m4f distance, compensation could be on the cards. Doctor Ken and Dubai Days add further spice to the mix.
Prediction : 1st Tommys Oscar 2nd Heltenham 3rd Doctor Ken

Bashful has solid claims based on his progressive profile over hurdles, while Simple Star was a winner over C&D on his latest start in this discipline and is another strong contender. However, the vote goes to fellow last-time-out winner KLITSCHKO, who scored in a relatively cosy manner under Brian Hughes at Sedgefield and a 5lb higher rating might not be enough to prevent the retained partnership from following up. Highlands Legacy and Maple are other each-way options.
Prediction : 1st Klitschko 2nd Bashful 3rd Simple Star

TRAILBLAZER was the comfortable winner of a similar race at Sedgefield 13 days ago and assuming this doesn't come around too quickly, a 6lb higher rating looks very manageable in this company. Heart Above has been reliable of late and is another attractive proposition on these terms. Gemini Man, Platin Moon and Brindley are all still of low mileage and all merit betting checks given their scope for further progression.
Prediction : 1st Trailblazer 2nd Heart Above 3rd Gemini Man
