UK Horse Racing Tips: Perth

TRIGG can continue the good run of form for Dan Skelton and he looks up to successfully shouldering a penalty in this novices' event on the evidence of his impressive Uttoxeter maiden hurdle success. He cleared away from his rivals over 2m that day and will likely appreciate this stiffer test of stamina. He can get the better of Kibris and Flying Ace.
Prediction : 1st Trigg 2nd Kibris 3rd Flying Ace

ALLIBABA arrives here in the middle of a real purple patch and is difficult to get away from following a pair of taking wins at Market Rasen and Warwick. Trip and ground are set to suit this eight-year-old and everything points towards another bold showing. Storm The Dug boasts claims on his latest second here and Betteryouthanme is also noted.
Prediction : 1st Allibaba 2nd Storm The Dug 3rd Betteryouthanme

A few in with chances but COSMIC SOUL makes most appeal. Winner of a handicap on the Flat at Southwell at the beginning of the year, he has since switched codes and won three on the spin over timber and there could be even more to come from this hugely progressive gelding. King Sacre and Scots Poet won't go down without a fight.
Prediction : 1st Cosmic Soul 2nd King Sacre 3rd Scots Poet

If NEWTOWN RAMBLER can shake Classic Maestro off in the early stages, it could be that he gets the run of the race on the front end. An impressive winner when making all over C&D last month under this rider, a similar level of performance may well suffice. Classic Maestro also won last time but now drops in trip from 2m4f, which is a slight concern. Captain Cool is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Newtown Rambler 2nd Classic Maestro 3rd Captain Cool

SOMESPRING SPECIAL has been in really good form of late and proved her seven-length Newton Abbot success was no flash in the pan when doubling up at Bangor a fortnight ago. Ben Jones keeps the ride and this trip-versatile mare is taken to round out the hat-trick in style. Others to bear in mind include Riskintheground, Walk On Quest and Breizh River.
Prediction : 1st Somespring Special 2nd Walk On Quest 3rd Breizh River

A case can be made for most of these and, with that in mind, only a tentative vote can go to MUSKERRY ROCK. The seven-year-old landed a hunters chase at Wexford before switching to Dan Skelton's yard and is likely to have more in the locker now that he steps back into the handicap ranks. Inis Oirr, Ira Hayes and Settle Down Jill all enter calculations too.
Prediction : 1st Muskerry Rock 2nd Ira Hayes 3rd Inis Oirr

Maillot Blanc won this from 8lb lower 12 months ago but is respected having dead-heated for top honours at Kelso latest. In the capable hands of Sean Bowen, though, STILETTO could put his best foot forward. Sophie Leech's gelding underwent a wind operation prior to his most recent start and may take a step forward now back on his last winning mark. Creadan Grace is also noted.
Prediction : 1st Stiletto 2nd Maillot Blanc 3rd Creadan Grace
