13:30 Perth Novices Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

It is difficult to predict with certainty which horse will do well based solely on this summary, as it does not provide enough information about the quality of the competition or other factors that could impact the outcome of the race. However, some horses that appear to have potential include 2.5/1 (3) MIDNIGHT SHUFFLE, who ran well in a valuable handicap for mares at Kelso, and 1.38/1 (2) POETIC MUSIC, who has had a successful season over hurdles and could bounce back after being outclassed at Cheltenham. 2.75/1 (1) MAGICAL MAGGIE is also worth considering despite a double penalty, as she has had success in the past and showed improvement in her most recent race. Other horses, such as 100/1 (5) BOLLIN MATILDA and 100/1 (11) POPATANGO, have not shown significant promise in their previous races and may be less likely to perform well.

MIDNIGHT SHUFFLE bounced back to form with an excellent runner-up effort in a valuable novices' handicap at Kelso last month and this looks like a winnable affair on paper. Magical Poetic Music drops in class having contested the Mares' Novice at Cheltenham and has to enter calculations, while Donso Star and Beauty To Behold could fight it out for the minor honours.

MIDNIGHT SHUFFLE underlined she's still improving when beaten only by one thrown in on her Kelso handicap debut last month and, with the performance backed up by the timefigure, she makes plenty of appeal. Poetic Music will find this much more suitable than the Dawn Run and must be feared, along with Magical Maggie.

This is a good opportunity for POETIC MUSIC to bounce back from her forgivable no-show at Cheltenham.

14:00 Perth Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 20f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

Based on the summary, 4/1 (9) NINETOFIVE and 6.5/1 (12) RICKETY GATE seem like strong contenders. 4/1 (9) NINETOFIVE has shown improvement with wind surgery and has progressed on each start over hurdles, while 6.5/1 (12) RICKETY GATE returned in fine form in the autumn and was shaping up for a hat-trick before falling late in his last race. 16/1 (8) SPLIT THE BILL and 16/1 (1) MOONLIGHT SPIRIT may be worth considering as possible dark horses, while 16/1 (6) AVOID DE MASTER and 20/1 (13) KAJAKI seem less likely to perform well.

The in-form RICKETY GATE was still very much in contention when falling two out at Doncaster in January and he can gain compensation on this occasion. Dropping back in trip should not inconvenience him either as he looks to see off the likes of Carlisle winner Kingston Bridge, and Ninetofive, who could be dangerous on his handicap debut. Others to note include Anti Bridgie, Okavango Delta and Wearelongterm.

Several in with a squeak but NINETOFIVE showed much improved form on the back of a breathing operation when runner-up at Hexham 6 weeks ago and, with the potential forbetter to come now tackling a longer trip, Sandy Thomson's 6-y-o can make a winning start to life in handicaps. Rickety Gate was in good form when last seen in the winter so he may emerge as the main danger after a 3-month break, with Kingston Bridge and stable-switcher Asserted another couple to consider.

The mare ANTI BRIDGIE ran a solid race last time at Newbury and there's reason to believe she can step up on that form.

14:30 Perth Handicap Chase (Class 4) 24f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

2.25/1 (4) CABOY may do well based on the summary as he is coming in at the top of his game, having snapped a losing sequence and finishing decently in his recent races. 3/1 (1) NICEANDEASY and 8/1 (5) KNOCKNAMONA also have some potential based on their past successes and the drop in class/return to longer trip respectively. 4/1 (3) FLYING VERSE and 22/1 (6) WOLFCATCHER may not be as reliable options based on recent inconsistencies and poor performances. 6/1 (2) SMUGGLER'S BLUES is described as unpredictable but has potential if he bounces back with a change of headgear. 16/1 (7) VICTORY ECHO has not been performing strongly in his recent races.

A tentative vote goes to CABOY, who has not been outside the first two in his last four starts and has the potential to improve for going up in trip. A mark of 97 still looks manageable, and he may have too much for the capable Niceandeasy, who is 2lb lower than his last winning. Flying Verse and Smuggler's Blues, who sports first-time blinkers, appear best of the remainder.

This longer trip should prove more suitable for KNOCKNAMONA nowadays so he could be the answer. Caboy has been holding his form well and rates the biggest threat, while the drop back in class should help Niceandeasy.

It's been a long time since CABOY ran over this far but the rise in distance shouldn't present a problem and he's the safest option.

15:00 Perth Handicap Hurdle (Class 3) 20f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.

5.5/1 (4) CAIUS MARCIUS is likely to do well based on the summary as the horse has a good track record, recently won at Doncaster and is returning to action with a yard going along nicely. The other horses have some potential but also have risks and uncertainties attached to them.

Caius Marcius won by a length over 3m at Doncaster last time and has been raised 3lb for that effort, which might not be enough to prevent him from going very close. However, the vote goes to the Lucinda Russell-trained SNAKE ROLL, who has contested Grade 2 company the last twice and wasn't beaten far into third in the latest of those outings at Kelso. The son of Jet Away now contests a handicap for the first time and could go well off what could prove to be a workable opening mark. Rafferty's Return completes the shortlist.

SNAKE ROLL's profile over hurdles is very much a positive one and, having shaped like this step back up in trip would suit when third in Grade 2 company at Kelso in March, he could well be the way to go now handicapping in this sphere. Glentruan has become somewhat hit-and-miss but is capable from this mark and feared. Veteran Caius Marcius completes the shortlist.

Lucinda Russell's SNAKE ROLL (nap) was beaten under 8l in a Grade 2 at Kelso that now looks very strong form.

15:30 Perth Handicap Chase (Class 2) 20f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.

Based on the summary, 0.8/1 (1) WHISTLEINTHEDARK is likely to do well as they have won their last three races and there is a weak race for the grade. 2.75/1 (2) RIDERS ONTHE STORM is said to be potentially well handicapped but hard to predict and has a patchy record in recent years. 5/1 (4) CORNERSTONE LAD has run good races in defeat but is unproven over this distance. 9/1 (3) KAPCORSE is described as well handicapped but with questions to answer at the minute and something to prove.

WHISTLEINTHEDARK landed the hat-trick on his most recent outing at Kempton when maintaining his unbeaten record over fences. With the likelihood of more to come in this sphere, he can prove too strong for the opposition. The main threat is likely to come from Riders Onthe Storm, who continues to drop in the weights and has champion jockey Brian Hughes booked. Cornerstone Lad would have claims based on his penultimate second at Haydock.

WHISTLEINTHEDARK has been highly progressive since switched to fences and he's fancied to stretch his unbeaten run over fences to four. Cornerstone Lad is the obvious danger as the other pair both have questions to answer.

The one most likely to give his true running is WHISTLEINTHEDARK and he's taken to complete a four-timer.

16:05 Perth Handicap Hurdle (Class 3) 27f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.

3/1 (6) MISS MILANO seems to be the most promising horse based on the summary. She has won all three of her starts this season, including a 17l victory at Doncaster, and her 6lb rise in handicap doesn't seem to have affected her too much. The other horses have either been struggling or have variables that make it hard to predict their performance, such as 3/1 (2) CASTLE RUSHEN trying a new visor and 25/1 (1) ALFA MIX returning to hurdles after running in handicap chases.

MISS MILANO returned from a break to hose up by 17 lengths at Doncaster over 3m and the daughter of Milan was leniently put up 6lb for that effort. This is a step up in class, but, considering the manner of that victory, it is likely she could prove tough to beat once more. The connections of Castle Rushen will be hoping a change in headgear to a first-time visor may bring out further improvement, while Salvino will appreciate the drop in class.

While he could do with brushing up on his jumping technique, CASTLE RUSHEN is nevertheless appealing having put in a good shift back in this sphere at Newcastle last time. He goes off the same mark here and both this step up in trip and the addition of more severe headgear (sports a first-time visor) are potentially positive factors. Stablemate Miss Milano is 3-3 this season and needs considering but Salvino, who looks pretty solid overall, is feared most.

16:40 Perth Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 16f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

It is difficult to determine which horse will do well based on this summary as each horse has varying levels of potential and form. However, 4/1 (3) DUYFKEN and 7/1 (9) DARKEST DAY seem to be the strongest contenders based on their recent performances and potential for improvement. 7/1 (4) JACKHAMMER may also have a chance due to their past success at this course, but their recent form is not as strong.

DUYFKEN was possibly a bit too keen in the early stages when he was edged out in a series final at Musselburgh last month, but a more settled approach could be enough for him to take full advantage of this drop in class. Bruce Lynn knows the selection well and his 3lb claim is a handy asset. The unexposed Thistlebuffs could have more to give with a tongue-tie now applied, while recent Wetherby winner Darkest Day is also feared off just 4lb higher.

There should be more to come from THISTLEBUFFS, who has acquitted himself well in a couple of novices and starts handicapping on a feasible mark. Duyfken and El Jefe head the list of dangers.

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

Based on the information provided, the horse that is predicted to do well is the one referred to as

SANITISER, who has won off 86 on the Flat, has shown an aptitude for this discipline since switching codes and offers strong appeal in race of this nature. This marks a slight drop in class for the gelding and he may have too much toe for the likes of Leopolds Rock and Derracrin, who both warrant respect judged on the pick of their previous hurdles form.

SANITISER is potentially very well treated judged on Flat ability so he's taken to make a winning handicap hurdle debut. Fathers Advice, twice a runner-up last month, and Leopolds Rock, who has a good record when partnered by Brian Hughes, head the dangers.
