UK Horse Racing Tips: Perth

Having dropped markedly in distance, THE LAST CLOUD arrives on the back of a narrow defeat over an extended 1m7f at Catterick. Although he may come into his own over further, this slight step up in trip could be enough for him to open his account. The biggest threat may emerge from Kinbara Hills, who will find this less competitive than his latest sixth in a 20-runner handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse. Gonnino is also noted.
Prediction : 1st The Last Cloud 2nd Kinbara Hills 3rd Gonnino

Mickey Bowen has made a fine start since taking over as the sole license holder and PEEJAYBEE could add another victory to his tally. The nine-year-old arrives on the back of a Ffos Las triumph and this looks a suitable opportunity for him to follow up. Although Whistleinthedark was let down by his jumping when finishing last at Haydock in February, he lurks on a dangerous mark and isn't taken lightly dropping into class 4 company. Kandor is the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Peejaybee 2nd Whistleinthedark 3rd Kandor

Summergrounds dug deep to complete a double at Ayr last month and must enter calculations in his current vein of form. However, the nine-year-old is effectively racing off 8lb higher without Ella McGarry's 5lb claim and he may prove vulnerable to the unexposed HAY MEADOW. Lucinda Russell's mare looked set to go close over C&D, only to unseat at the last. Go Go Chicago is also worth a second look now reverting to handicap company.
Prediction : 1st Hay Meadow 2nd Summergrounds 3rd Go Go Chicago

JUST DOTTIE notched her third C&D success, producing a career-best performance in the process, when returning from a break here three weeks ago. Although now rated 9lb higher and without the assistance of Ben Smith's handy claim, champion jockey Sean Bowen takes over the reins and another big effort is forecast. Evaluation took a step forward when runner-up in a Kelso novice hurdle and warrants respect now trying handicap company. Bel Amigo must also enter calculations chasing his fourth win in a row.
Prediction : 1st Just Dottie 2nd Evaluation 3rd Bel Amigo

STUMPS OR SLIPS won in a hack canter on his stable debut for Olly Murphy at Ffos Las recently and, 7lb well-in despite the penalty, he is hard to oppose in his bid to follow up. Cracking Destiny has a C&D victory on his CV and the veteran performer certainly boasts place claims following a pleasing comeback run at Kelso. We Got Your Back is another respected alternative having hit the crossbar at Southwell on his last couple of starts.
Prediction : 1st Stumps Or Slips 2nd Cracking Destiny 3rd We Got Your Back

Not For Passin shaped encouragingly on his sole outing between the flags and can't be dismissed on his Rules debut, but newcomers Connells Cross and ZHANMA ENKI make most appeal. Both represent shrewd connections and are bred to be useful, with Stuart Crawford's filly just edging the vote. She is a half-sister to multiple winners, including the smart Yala Enki, and fetched 100,000 euros as a three-year-old. Her stable has enjoyed plenty of success at this venue over the years and she is likely to be ready for action.
Prediction : 1st Zhanma Enki 2nd Connells Cross 3rd Not For Passin
