13:30 Perth Handicap Hurdle (Class 3) 16f Race Class Flow

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

It is difficult to predict with certainty which horse will perform best based on this summary, as each horse has its own strengths and weaknesses. However, based on the information provided, 2.5/1 (1) GINGER MAIL and 3.5/1 (6) LETTERSTON LADY appear to be serious contenders, with the former having narrowly lost its latest race and the latter bringing unexposed potential to its handicap debut. 4.5/1 (7) CUBAN CIGAR is also a consistent horse and likely to put in a good performance. The other horses have mixed form or need to improve significantly to win.

The addition of cheekpieces could make all the difference to GINGER MAIL, who was just touched off at Ayr last month. The winner boosted that form when subsequently hitting the frame in a stronger race, so Nick Alexander's gelding is taken to go one better. Cuban Cigar struck at Musselburgh on his latest outing and he merits respect from a 4lb higher mark, while previous C&D winner Well Planted can't be ruled out on his first start post wind surgery.

GINGER MAIL has had a solid campaign and he won't need to pull out much more for first-time cheekpieces to get his head back in front. The reliable Cuban Cigar bagged a nice prize at Musselburgh last month and is likely to go well again, while Letterston Lady might have needed last month's comeback run at Market Rasen and is an interesting one for handicaps.

Preference is for LETTERSTON LADY on her handicap debut.

14:05 Perth Handicap Chase (Class 3) 31f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the summary, Silver in Disguise and 8/1 (13) GENTLEMAN DE MAI seem to be the strongest contenders, with 5.5/1 (10) CONCETTO and 6/1 (12) DESTINY IS ALL also having a good chance. The others have either proven to be inconsistent or have not shown enough recent form to suggest they will do well in this race.

Fresh from her success in the Grand National with Corach Rambler, Lucinda Russell will be hopeful that DESTINY IS ALL can round off a fine month. A good second over 3m5f at Warwick 47 days ago, the nine-year-old may benefit from a further step up in trip and his current mark ought to be well within range. Stablemate Return Fire is worthy of consideration, along with If Not For Dylan, who has always given the impression a marathon trip would play to his strengths. Geryville should not be underestimated either.

CONCETTO lost his unbeaten chasing record at the hands of another progressive novice at Ludlow, but he looks the one who could still be ahead of his mark given his lightly-raced profile so is well worth another chance. Gentleman de Mai is another unexposed sort who's taken well to fences so rates the main threat ahead of Destiny Is All and Geryville.

The unexposed Concetto will be a real threat if staying but this could be the chance for DESTINY IS ALL (nap) to win again.

14:40 Perth Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

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

It is likely that 1.5/1 (1) RESPLENDENT GREY will do well based on the summary provided. The horse has won with ease on its hurdle debut, has shown promise in bumpers, and has

RESPLENDENT GREY had some good bumper form in the book prior to his recent Wetherby success, and the unexposed son of Walk In The Park is taken to follow up under a penalty. It should only be a matter of time before Charles St opens his account in this sphere having posted a series of consistent efforts, while Bells Express could be best placed to chase them home.

RESPLENDENT GREY has to concede weight all round but he looked a good prospect when going in at the first time of asking in this sphere at Wetherby so gets the nod. Charles St has the form to play a big part but looks booked for minor honours once more ahead of newcomer Bix Beiderbecke.

This offers CHARLES ST a golden chance to gain an overdue hurdling win.

15:15 Perth Handicap Chase (Class 3) 24f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the summary, 4.5/1 (6) HERE COMES THE MAN and 5/1 (3) KAKAMORA seem to be the strongest contenders. 4.5/1 (6) HERE COMES THE MAN won easily on his chasing debut just 13 days ago and has a lot to like, while 5/1 (3) KAKAMORA won emphatically in his last outing and is expected to progress. 2.75/1 (1) BRIDGE NORTH and 7/1 (4) UNIVERSAL FOLLY could also be in the running, but may face tougher competition. The other horses have some question marks around their recent form or ability to compete at this level.

There was a lot to like about BRIDGE NORTH's triumph in a small but competitive contest on his chase debut at Newbury last month and the handicapper may have underestimated the strength of that form with only a 3lb rise in the ratings. Here Comes The Man also impressed when winning on his first attempt over fences at Newcastle recently and an 8lb hike in the handicap is unlikely to stop another bold bid. The in-form Everyday Champagne will need to overcome a career-high mark to capitalise here, but he still enters calculations.

HERE COMES THE MAN created an excellent impression when making a winning chasing debut at Newcastle so Rose Dobbin's son of Flemensfirth is fancied to defy a 8 lb rise and make it 2-2 in this sphere. Bridge North also went in at the first time of asking in this sphere at Newbury and is feared most ahead of the handily-weighted Captain Quint and Huntingdon-scorer Kakamora.

A competitive contest could go to BRIDGE NORTH, who is open to improvement as a chaser.

15:50 Perth Handicap Chase (Class 3) 24f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the summary provided, it is difficult to confidently predict which horse will perform the best. However, 3/1 (2) UNCLE ALASTAIR Carlisle may have an advantage as they have previously won on the track and are benefitting from a first-time visor. 6/1 (4) SAINT ARVANS also has a good record this season with four wins and may be a contender. The other horses have either been inconsistent or are out of form, so they may have a bit to prove.

Cyclop appeared to be retreating when falling in the latter stages of the race at Fakenham earlier in the month and the veteran may be worth taking on running off the same mark in this contest. UNCLE ALASTAIR proved a different proposition when cruising home in a first-time visor at Carlisle last month and a 5lb rise in the handicap might not be enough to stop Nicky Richards' gelding from going in again. Fellow last-time-out winner Saint Arvans could have more to offer over staying distances and is another viable alternative.

DOYEN BREED looks to be on the way back and can resume winning ways in a change of headgear. The Wolf's long losing run dents confidence for win purpose but he ran well for second at Ludlow last time and can fill the forecast spot again. Recent Carlisle scorer Uncle Alastair may prove best of the rest.

Although his winning run came to an end last time, CYCLOP is taken to return resume winning ways on a track that suits him.

16:25 Perth Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 20f Race Class Flow

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

3/1 (12) CHUMLEE and 5/1 (14) WATCHOUTITSCOOKIE seem to be the strongest contenders based on their recent form and abilities. However, 5.5/1 (4) WHAT A STEAL and 7/1 (1) MAILLOT BLANC cannot be completely ruled out as they have shown some decent performances and could surprise. The rest of the field seems to have some question marks and will need to improve significantly to be competitive.

CHUMLEE has been hit with an 11lb hike in the ratings after romping home by 10 lengths over 2m1f on his handicap debut at Newcastle last month, but Sandy Forster's inmate looks capable of more now stepped up to 2m4f and gets the vote. Maillot Blanc was far from disgraced when placing third off 1lb lower in a class 2 event at Kelso last time and he isn't taken lightly in these calmer waters. What A Steal may have more to offer here on his handicap debut and completes the shortlist.

Tom George has a healthy 22% strike-rate here so a chance is taken on his WHAT A STEAL who showed promise at the start of his career and rates a potential improver now handicapping under Brian Hughes. Maillot Blanc ran a solid race at Kelso last month and is also on the shortlist, along with recent Newcastle scorer Chumlee and Nigel Hawke's Watchoutitscookie.

In a trappy race ULTRA VIOLET, who has improved with cheekpieces, is the tentative choice. Watchoutitscookie is an obvious threat.

17:00 Perth Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 20f Race Class Flow

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

It is difficult to predict with certainty which horse will do well as there are several contenders, each with their own strengths and weaknesses. However, 4/1 (11) THE BANDIT and 6.5/1 (13) EDEN MILL seem to have a better chance as they have recently shown improved form and are only slightly up in the weights. 8/1 (6) PATS DREAM and 12/1 (1) MINELLA YOUNGY, although unproven in handicaps, also have potential to do well if they can build on their previous performances.

The booking of Brian Hughes to ride Rory And Me for the trainer who won a division of this in 2021 catches the eye, and he could go well at a price as he comes down the weights, along with Sanosuke, who looks well handicapped but isn't guaranteed to be at his best over this trip. It may be more sensible to side with EUCHAN FALLS, who returns to a more suitable grade after failing in better company the last twice and he races off just 4lb higher than his latest winning mark.

In a race where few arrive with compelling claims the suggestion is HARIBO COLLONGES who seemed to have his stamina stretched over 25f at Carlisle last time and his Market Rasen third prior to that is solid form in the context of this race. The Bandit pieced it all together at Southwell last time and is second choice ahead of Rory And Me, who might have needed the outing last time and has Brian Hughes up. Rose Dobbin's Pats Dream is a potential improver in handicaps.

Although below form last time, EUCHAN FALLS appeals most with the drop in class a positive.

17:30 Perth NH Flat Race (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

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

1.25/1 (6) EL ELEFANTE and 3/1 (5) THE KALOOKI KID are the most likely to do well based on their recent strong form and encouraging performances, with 1.25/1 (6) EL ELEFANTE having won a good race at Musselburgh last month and 3/1 (5) THE KALOOKI KID having shown promise in previous races. 5.5/1 (4) MARTY MCFLY may also be a contender with his previous Irish point win and solid fourth place in a recent Rules debut. The other horses have either shown limited ability or are debutants without much to go off in terms of performance history.

With precious little form to work with it may be safest to take the side of EL ELEFANTE, a four-length winner on her debut under Rules at Musselburgh, where she made all to come home alone. She carries a 4lb penalty for that victory but still gets a mares' allowance and any improvement may see her follow up. Stuart Crawford sends Largy Ray over from Ireland and he may be worth a market watch here, while twice-placed The Kalooki Kid and newcomer Buck Of Maine are others to consider.

EL ELEFANTE was second in a point before going one better in comfortable fashion at Musselburgh a month ago and she's firmly expected to go in again. The Kalooki Kid looks the main danger ahead of Marty McFly.

Good Musselburgh winner EL ELEFANTE can defy a 4lb penalty and win again.

About U.K Horse Racing

Horse racing is a popular and historic sport in the UK, with a tradition dating back centuries. It is a multi-billion pound industry that attracts millions of spectators each year and generates significant economic activity.

There are two main types of horse racing in the UK: flat racing and jump racing. Flat racing is run on a level course and is typically shorter in distance, while jump racing involves horses jumping over obstacles and is generally longer in distance. Both types of racing are popular with spectators and bettors, and they take place at various racetracks throughout the country.

The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool. It is a jump racing event that is known for its challenging course and has become a national institution in the UK. Other notable horse racing events in the UK include the Derby, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, and the Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.

Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.

In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses. Many of the world's top thoroughbreds are bred and trained in the UK, and the industry plays a vital role in the preservation and promotion of the breed.

Overall, horse racing is an integral part of British culture and a major contributor to the country's economy. It is a thrilling and exciting sport that continues to attract a loyal following and generate significant interest from spectators and bettors around the world.
