UK Horse Racing Tips: Perth

HOLY JOE made an inauspicious start here in April, but has flourished since. He was in the process of making ground when he unseated at Downpatrick before eclipsing those runs with a cosy success at Clonmel. A 7lb penalty demands more, but the son of Elusive Pimpernel seems progressive and he could be up to the task. L'amalric didn't build on his Worcester victory so it might be more profitable to chance surprise Hexham winner Dolly Dior for the forecast.
Prediction : 1st Holy Joe 2nd Dolly Dior 3rd Lamalric

Ras Kassar was a capable hurdler in France and also won two of his three starts over fences in his homeland. The seven-year-old travels a long way to make his debut for David Pipe and any support in the betting would be noteworthy. However, the in-form CONQUER THE BREEZE has vital experience of these obstacles and is hard to oppose after a seven-length romp at Hexham. Garde Des Champs is the pick of the rest off 5lb lower than when he beat the selection in this race last year.
Prediction : 1st Conquer The Breeze 2nd Ras Kassar 3rd Garde Des Champs

Olly Murphy has worked his magic on ATLANTIC CITY and the mare has seemed revitalised in her three starts for the Warwickshire-based trainer. A respectable second at Aintree on her latest start, the improving five-year-old won't need to find much more to supplement her C&D win in April. Bold Light is consistent enough to feature on the shortlist, with Parikarma and Summergrounds also capable of bold showings.
Prediction : 1st Atlantic City 2nd Bold Light 3rd Parikarma

Having finished a respectable fourth over C&D last month, Statuario must enter calculations cutting back in class. A 1lb drop in the ratings can only help the veteran and he's not taken lightly, but BLEU D'ENFER may prove to be slightly better treated. Donald McCain's charge arrives on the back of a staying-on second over 2m4f at Aintree and he looks ready for this distance again. Parisencore is also interesting upped in trip.
Prediction : 1st Bleu Denfer 2nd Statuario 3rd Parisencore

Although Dalileo recorded a fourth course victory recently, this step into 0-120 company could find him out. With that in mind, it might pay to persevere with LOWLANDS, who supplemented a maiden victory at this venue with a good second in handicap company at Cartmel. A 1lb higher mark looks workable for the seven-year-old and she's fancied to repel Uttoxeter runner-up Secret Trix.
Prediction : 1st Lowlands 2nd Secret Trix 3rd Dalileo

Sitting at the foot of the weights, LUCKY IN TAIPAN could be poised to make a winning stable/handicap bow. Although the six-year-old hasn't cut much ice in his qualifying runs, he displayed clear ability on his third-placed bumper debut at Worcester in July 2024 and an official rating of 74 looks exploitable. Scots Poet, a winner of three of his last four outings, has enjoyed a resurgence of late and he's feared most, ahead of Centurion's Sister.
Prediction : 1st Lucky In Taipan 2nd Scots Poet 3rd Centurions Sister
