13:42 Perth Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

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

CHASING CHANCES shaped better the beaten distance suggests when finishing fourth on his hurdling debut over an extended 2m7f at Punchestown earlier in the month and compensation could await Shark Hanlon's gelding now dropped to 2m. His Irish counterpart Gortmillish is an intriguing rival on his return from a 609-day layoff for the Gordon Elliott team and any market support would be worth noting. Kellyiscool will likely need to improve on his latest fifth at Sligo, yet still completes the shortlist.

Not a strong maiden hurdle and the returning GORTMILLISH can give Gordon Elliott another Perth victory hot on the back of his 4 winners at the last meeting. Kellyiscool looks the danger.

The pick is CHASING CHANCES, who was right in the thick of things for a long way on his recent hurdling debut at Punchestown

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

DRAGON ROCK was far from disgraced when finding only a resurgent Pottlerath too good on his chasing debut at Bangor earlier in the month and the seven-year-old looks to have been found a suitable opportunity to go one place better in this contest. Cardamon Hill boasts a point-to-point background and may offer the biggest threat on his chasing debut, ahead of Petrastar, who wasn't shaping too badly at Huntingdon last month but for falling at the last fence.

DRAGON ROCK jumped better as the race wore on when second in a 3-runner handicap on chase bow at Bangor 2 weeks ago and, with progress anticipated, he could well be up to going one place better. Cardamon Hill, on chase debut, may emerge as the chief threat, ahead of Petrastar.

Dragon Rock was second on his chasing debut but GLADIATORIAL switches back to fences on a very good mark and might be the answer.

PETITE RHAPSODY capitalised on a declining mark when getting up in the dying strides over C&D last month and a 6lb rise may not prevent Lucinda Russell's charge from completing a double. Minella Youngy was unable to justify favouritism when finding a rampant Belvedere Blast too hot to handle at Hexham last Saturday, but a 1lb nudge up the ratings is unlikely to prevent another bold bid. Balranald and Bella Bluesky also enter calculations.

MINELLA YOUNGY ran much better than for a while from a sliding mark when runner-up at Hexham last week so could be ready to strike with the return to further expected to suit. Man of The House caught the eye for a long way at Kilbeggan last time so may emerge as the biggest threat ahead of Balranald.

Unexposed Irish raider MAN OF THE HOUSE drops back in trip after moving well for a long way over 3m three weeks ago and gets the vote.

15:27 Perth Handicap Chase (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

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

An emphatic winner over this trip at Southwell earlier this month, CAPTAIN IVAN could prove tough to peg back if anywhere near that form and an 8lb raised mark may not be enough to stop him following up. He is taken to get the better of the class-dropping Lermoos Legend, who has been knocking on the door of late, while Sao is another to bear in mind.

LERMOOS LEGEND again left the impression that his turn is near when chasing home the in-form Blueberry Wine at Aintree and he is taken to deservedly get his head back in front. It's likely that the selection will have most to fear from Captain Ivan, who is greatly respected despite going up 8 lb for his recent Southwell success. Sao isn't the most reliable nowadays but he's certainly capable of a bold show off this sort of mark.

Preference is for LERMOOS LEGEND, who ran well in defeat on his last two appearances.

16:07 Perth Handicap Chase (Class 3) 24f Race Class Flow

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

A comfortable winner over C&D last time out, BALLYKEEL is entitled to confirm form with Definite Plan (second), even though the latter reopposes on much better terms here. The gelded son of Presenting saw off his stablemate by three and a half lengths in the aforementioned contest and the pair can land Gordon Elliott a 1-2 in this. Presentandcounting secured a facile success at Ffos Las on his most recent outing and should not be underestimated off 5lb higher.

BALLYKEEL has a career-high mark to overcome but still looks the way to go on the back of his idling C&D success. Course-winner Presentandcounting rates much the biggest threat, with Saint Arvans appealing as the pick of the remainder for minor honours.

Prolific 9yo PRESENTANDCOUNTING (nap) was back in very good nick when winning easily at Ffos Las recently and is still on a good mark.

16:42 Perth Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

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

Russian Virtue beat Garde Des Champs by a length and a half over C&D last time and, despite being 2lb worse off at the weights with that rival today, that form is likely to be confirmed by the former. However, they could be running for second place beind TREBIZOND, who is unbeaten for his new trainer in two starts, with the latest of those victories coming over 2m4f at this track, and he can go in once more off 5lb higher.

A further 3 lb rise may not prevent RUSSIAN VIRTUE going in again and confirming recent C&D superiority over Garde Des Champs. Gavin and Trebizond, who respectively bid for 4 and 3 wins in a row, should also have a say in a competitive heat.

A chance is taken on the fitness of good-ground bumper winner MR SUNDANCER, who ran okay on heavy ground on his handicap debut.

17:17 Perth Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 24f Race Class Flow

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

COOL CROI ran with huge credit when third by just under a length over C&D in this grade last time and she was only raised 2lb for that display, which could prove to be lenient and she is fancied to come home in front for the Gordon Elliott stable. The one to give her the most to think about could be Ultra Violet, who had Pammi (sixth) behind when he was far from disgraced when fourth in a class 4 event last time and could have a say off 1lb lower.

COOL CROI wasn't ideally placed when third over C&D last time and, with few miles on the clock, she's expected to build on that, so she gets the nod over Pammi, who boasts an excellent course record. Ultra Violet is also considered.

Low-mileage mare COOL CROI probably didn't have the race run to suit when a close third over C&D last month and can do better.
