UK Horse Racing Tips: Perth

Petersham Place won his point-to-point at Oldtown by five lengths and the runner up has won since to frank the form and he is worthy of a market watch. Ar Ais Aris was beaten two lengths in a point-to-point and the same distance when fourth in a bumper here and he may be the biggest rival to EASTERN FIRE. Dan Skelton's gelding won his bumper at Fakenham in January and looks the sort to be suited by this trip and more over hurdles.
Prediction : 1st Eastern Fire 2nd Ar Ais Aris 3rd Petersham Place

Three of these are having their first run over fences with the exception of Jabbar, second at Downpatrick in August. Dream Shadow ended last season with a four-length Listed win at Haydock and in receipt of her 7lb sex allowance she could prove the biggest danger to KABRAL DU MATHAN. A class act over hurdles rounding off last season with a fourth in the Stayers' Hurdle at Cheltenham when travelling ominously well before the petrol ran out in the closing stages, his chasing debut is eagerly anticipated.
Prediction : 1st Kabral Du Mathan 2nd Dream Shadow 3rd Jabbar

With Sean Bowen booked to ride, the assumption is that Old Habits is the better of the two Olly Murphy runners and with a Southwell bumper win and an Ayr second he has to be considered. GET OUT OF MY WAY finished a nine-length second in a Listed bumper at Newbury on his second start in February and is related to plenty of winning hurdlers, making him the one to beat. Irish raider Sea Eagle and point-to-point second Nikolavs Otto are others to take seriously.
Prediction : 1st Get Out Of My Way 2nd Old Habits 3rd Sea Eagle

Golden Point failed to run his race before pulling up at Uttoxeter in March but he had won his previous two at Kelso and is not one to write off just yet. Major Fortune travels north as part of a strong Skelton team with a win over further at Haydock last time out but he has 5lb more from the handicapper and the younger CHASINGOUTTHEBLUES is preferred. Mark Walford's gelding was not disgraced when fifth in the Scottish National and looks all set for a rewarding season.
Prediction : 1st Chasingouttheblues 2nd Major Fortune 3rd Golden Point

Fingers were burned when TAP TAP SHAMIE failed to justify cramped odds at Carlisle, but Olly Murphy's gelding made no mistake when an authoritative winner at Hexham next time. He enters handicaps on the back of a five-month absence and is expected to prove better than a mark of 120, not least at this level. She's Notjoeking was holding her form well when last in action and enters calculations alongside both Linalene and Matching Energy.
Prediction : 1st Tap Tap Shamie 2nd Shes Notjoeking 3rd Linalene

Success looked unlikely for ORDEROFTHEDAY at Uttoxeter, but Sean Bowen was able to galvanise the Order Of St George gelding and he got up in the nick of time. He'll likely need a bit more on the back of a break, but many of these make their seasonal returns too and this is only his second start over the larger obstacles. The race-fit Tanking Along struck at Sedgefield recently and is respected as a result, while others to note include Heads Or Harps and Minella Marathon.
Prediction : 1st Orderoftheday 2nd Tanking Along 3rd Heads Or Harps

Kado Sacree notched up a brace of hurdling victories when last seen and is of serious interest now tried over fences, but it might be worth taking a chance on COSSACK CHACH. A winner over the larger obstacles when trained in Ireland, he then had a brief spell with Jimmy Moffatt before shaping with promise on his debut for Lucinda Russell and Michael Scudamore. Stepping up half a mile in trip should suit, and this is easier than his last assignment. Rock Dj is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Cossack Chach 2nd Kado Sacree 3rd Rock Dj

Each of these four yards have been amongst the winners lately but none more so than Patrick Neville. Cockle Bay Wharf struggled on his racecourse bow last term though and is likely to need considerable improvement, whereas Saint De Gemix and Velvet Outlaw arrive from the pointing sphere and are complete unknowns under Rules. That too can be said of STILL GAME, though, who fetched 45,000 euros at the sales last June and is most appealing of the four that line up.
Prediction : 1st Still Game 2nd Saint De Gemix 3rd Velvet Outlaw
