Races & Results Monday 9th September 2024
The data in the racecards below is for the past year. View the racecard key.
(2) Luckie Seven 10/3, Promising start when runner-up in a bumper at Doncaster in January 2023 and went one better in cosy fashion there last month. Progressed again when second in April if that year and defied 15-month absence when scoring on hurdles debut over 20.2f here in July. Lots more to come. Returned from long absence to make winning hurdle debut here (2m4f) in July; respected.
4
2nd (4) (9/2 +0%) Byron Hill
4.5
9/2(+0%)
(4) Byron Hill 9/2, Fairly useful stayer on the level and has shown a fair level of ability over hurdles, finding just one too good on debut for this yard at Sedgefield (16.8f, good) in May. Matched that form when runner-up again over C&D but lacks the scope to improve of a few here. Tongue tie on. Good second in C&D handicap last month but others in this line-up have more potential.
12
3rd (12) (12/1 -71%) Spit Spot
12
12/1(-71%)
(12) Spit Spot 12/1, Fair performer on the Flat and has run to a similar level over hurdles for current yard, runner-up 3 times on the bounce earlier this year. Her jumping rather let her down during the spring, though. Has claims here if judged on best of last season's form; pulled up on latest outing in May.
7
4th (7) (40/1 -186%) Sunninghill
40
40/1(-186%)
(7) Sunninghill 40/1, Fair form when making the frame in minor events on Flat in 2022, stays 1¼m. Has left S. P. C. Woods and been gelded ahead of hurdles debut. Showed fair form on AW in autumn 2022 but makes stable/hurdle debut after long layoff.
5
5th (5) (50/1 -213%) Dapper Gent
50
50/1(-213%)
(5) Dapper Gent 50/1, Runner-up in selling/maiden company in May. Similar form in low-grade handicaps since but his merit looks established and he's right up against it in novice company. In the frame all four hurdling starts this season but faces tough task on these terms.
10
6th (10) (250/1 -150%) Inoue
250
250/1(-150%)
(10) Inoue 250/1, Down the field in 2 bumpers for Stuart Crawford and has failed to complete over hurdles. Struggled to get competitive in his first two hurdle races and makes no appeal here.
8
7th (8) (66/1 -100%) The Dipper
66
66/1(-100%)
(8) The Dipper 66/1, €21,000 3-y-o, El Salvador gelding. Brother to a point winner. Dam, pulled up in points, half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser (2m-21f winner) Lady Zephyr. Not given an overly-hard time in a bumper at Ayr during the spring. Unable to land a significant blow when 25-1 for soft-ground Ayr bumper on debut in April.
6
|F| (6) (8/11 +52%) Gers Gigi
0.727273
8/11(+52%)
(6) Gers Gigi 8/11, Winner of a bumper at Downpatrick in June and following a runner-up effort on hurdles debut, he landed the odds without too much fuss at Sligo 19 days ago. That is the best form on offer. Kept on strongly to win Sligo maiden last month; leading contender.
3
|PU| (3) (28/1 -40%) Auld Toon Loon
28
28/1(-40%)
(3) Auld Toon Loon 28/1, Fairly useful handicapper on Flat for David O'Meara (stays 10.5f), below form final start in 2023. Given a considerate introduction to hurdling after 9 months off at Hexham in June and then too free over C&D 3 weeks ago. Hood may help him settle. Useful on the Flat last year but has made quiet start to hurdling career.
11
|PU| (11) (150/1 -200%) Spanish Saint
150
150/1(-200%)
(11) Spanish Saint 150/1, Mid-field at best in maidens/handicap on Flat for Noel Meade and no better for current yard. Lowly rated Flat maiden; had excuse when pulled up on hurdle debut; still overlooked.
9
|PU| (9) (250/1 -150%) Thunder Gap
250
250/1(-150%)
(9) Thunder Gap 250/1, Modest on Flat for Tom Tate and low-key start over hurdles. A well-beaten outsider on all three hurdling attempts.
13:55 Perth Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Luckie Seven backed up the promise he showed in bumpers when scoring on his hurdling debut over 2m4f at this venue last time, but this drop in trip is a slight concern. With that in mind, the vote goes to GERS GIGI, who justified favouritism in a decisive manner at Sligo on her latest outing and may prove very hard to stop under Sean Bowen. Byron Hill was second in a C&D maiden last month and also merits consideration.
There's depth to this novice and in the hope the drop in trip doesn't inconvenience LUCKIE SEVEN, he's selected to defy a penalty having made a winning return from a break here in July. Gers Gigi brings the best hurdles form to the table so she's a huge threat.
Luckie Seven may find it tough to concede 7lb to GERS GIGI, who comes here after a clearcut success at Sligo.
(2) Dripsey Moon 2/1, Cemented a solid start over fences when winning 6-runner handicap chase over C&D (good) 23 days ago by ¾ length from Parisencore. Expected to be bang there nudged up 2 lb. Made it 2-2 at Perth when making all to beat a few of these here 23 days ago; up just 2lb.
5
2nd (5) (10/1 -150%) Valsorpresa
10
10/1(-150%)
(5) Valsorpresa 10/1, Winner at Downpatrick in April. Not seen to best effect when fourth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Wexford (16.7f, good to soft) 31 days ago. Much respected on his chase debut stepping back up in trip. Maiden hurdler winner; makes chase debut and he's a brother to Presenting Percy.
3
3rd (3) (5/2 +29%) Parisencore
2.5
5/2(+29%)
(3) Parisencore 5/2, C&D winner in June. 2/1, good ¾-length second of 6 to Dripsey Moon in handicap chase at this C&D (good) 23 days ago so he must enter calculations. Kept Dripsey Moon honest here last time and they're again very closely matched.
6
4th (6) (12/1 -33%) Garde Des Champs
12
12/1(-33%)
(6) Garde Des Champs 12/1, On a losing run but he recorded a good 5¼ lengths third of 6 to Dripsey Moon in handicap chase over C&D (good) 23 days ago. Can make his presence felt despite being 4 lb "wrong" in the weights. Behind two of these here last time and again he finds himself 4lb out of the weights.
4
5th (4) (9/2 -13%) Jerrash
4.5
9/2(-13%)
(4) Jerrash 9/2, Successful at Bangor and Market Rasen this summer and posted a good second of 6 in handicap chase at Cartmel (25.5f, heavy) 14 days ago. Back down in trip but ought to be in the shake-up. Edging up the weights after a good summer but should be in the thick of it.
1
|PU| (1) (15/2 +17%) Mahons Glory
7.5
15/2(+17%)
(1) Mahons Glory 15/2, Got back on track sent chasing when runner-up in novice handicap at Southwell (20.4f) in June. Raced too freely when fourth of 6 to Dripsey Moon in handicap chase over C&D (good) 23 days ago. Sort to bounce back with tongue strap added. Feasible excuses when beaten about 13l in Dripsey Moon's race here last month.
14:30 Perth Handicap Chase (Class 3) 20f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
Jerrash finished well clear of the third when filling the runner-up spot in this grade at Cartmel last month and he should remain competitive off 3lb higher. However, preference is for DRIPSEY MOON, who beat the majority of this field over track and trip last month and he boasts leading claims of confirming that form in order to record a double. Parisencore was second to the selection in that contest and is one to take seriously.
DRIPSEY MOON rates just the pick of these weights so is taken to follow up his recent C&D victory at the chief expense again of Parisencore who enjoys a 1 lb pull in the weights. Cartmel runner-up Jerrash is another to consider along with chasing debutant Valsorpresa.
All six can have a say. A chance is taken on chasing debutant VALSORPRESA who is a brother to Presenting Percy.
(3) Here Comes Georgie 9/4, Fair hurdler who got off the mark in 10-runner novice at Carlisle (17f, soft) in December. Well held next 2 starts, latterly on chase debut in May but well prepared returned to timber and a break when landing 12-runner C&D handicap 3 weeks ago. Resumed winning ways in C&D handicap 23 days ago; up 3lb but not taken lightly.
2
2nd (2) (9/1 +18%) Cuban Cigar
9
9/1(+18%)
(2) Cuban Cigar 9/1, Successful at Musselburgh in November and, after a below-par effort next time, has made the frame on his next 5 starts. Flat efforts this summer hardly brimming with promise but he made late headway in a C&D handicap 3 weeks ago. Visor replaces blinkers. Consistent sort; not disgraced when seventh over C&D 23 days ago; possibilities.
6
3rd (6) (11/1 -100%) Ravenscraig Castle
11
11/1(-100%)
(6) Ravenscraig Castle 11/1, Fairly useful stayer on Flat who shaped much better than first time up over hurdles with cheekpieces added when second in a 2m Kelso novice in May. Hasn't made any great impact back on the level since but much more like it when second back over hurdles latest. Now goes handicapping. Fair 1m5f Flat winner; solid Catterick second latest; may do better still now handicapping.
1
4th (1) (10/1 +29%) Matchless
10
10/1(+29%)
(1) Matchless 10/1, Improved when winning 9-runner handicap at Musselburgh (2m) in November but rather in-and-out to end the season. Spin on the AW a fortnight ago will have blow away the cobwebs. Looked rusty after five months off when last at Newcastle 18 days ago; no forlorn hope.
8
5th (8) (6/1 +25%) Malangen
6
6/1(+25%)
(8) Malangen 6/1, Four-time course winner who opened his account for the season at Hexham (16.2f) in June and has continued in good heart since, recording another placed effort over 20.2f 3 weeks ago. Can give it another good go. Took this prize 12 months ago; good third here 23 days ago so must enter calculations.
7
6th (7) (11/1 -38%) Just Dottie
11
11/1(-38%)
(7) Just Dottie 11/1, Offered little in bumper/on Flat but has found her feet over hurdles for this yard, better for her reappearance when landing mares' handicap over C&D for second successive year in May. Good third at Uttoxeter next time but latest effort here was disappointing. C&D winner in May but rare below-par sixth over C&D in July; she's the sort to bounce back.
4
7th (4) (9/4 -80%) Leading Lion
2.25
9/4(-80%)
(4) Leading Lion 9/4, Proved a different proposition in a tongue strap for the first time in this code when winning 16-runner handicap hurdle at Bellewstown (20.5f, good) 12 days ago, impressively. Open to further improvement and follow up looks on the cards. Vastly improved on h'cap debut when a ready winner at Bellewstown; holds leading claims.
5
8th (5) (40/1 -60%) Well Planted
40
40/1(-60%)
(5) Well Planted 40/1, C&D winner who didn't really take to chasing at the first attempt here in May but more like it when third over hurdles in July. Couple of heavy defeats since need casting aside. C&D scorer; cheekpieces on when last of 12 over C&D 23 days ago; he needs to bounce back.
15:05 Perth Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
LEADING LION comfortably took care of his nearest rival by over four lengths at Bellewstown on his latest outing and the four-year-old may have more to offer in this sphere. Gordon Elliott's charge looks to have lots in his favour and could prove very tough to stop. Four-time course winner Malangen made the frame at this level over 2m4f here last month and has to be considered off the same mark, while Here Comes Georgie is another to note after his C&D victory last time.
LEADING LION cashed in on a lenient hurdles mark based on his Flat ability when a ready winner at Bellewstown 12 days ago and representing a top yard, his revised mark should be within range. Malangen and Just Dottie are course regulars who can make their presence felt.
Gordon Elliott's LEADING LION looked well ahead of his mark when an easy Bellewstown winner and can defy a 13lb hike in the weights.
(4) Wasdell Dundalk 9/1, Below-par sixth of 7 in handicap chase at Cartmel (25.5f, soft) 49 days ago. Took this 12 months ago though so no surprise to see him get back on track. Cartmel last time was a new experience and always a force to be reckoned with here.
1
2nd (1) (13/8 -30%) Olivers Travels
1.625
13/8(-30%)
(1) Olivers Travels 13/8, Arrives on the up after recent back-to-back 23f handicap chase wins at Worcester. Looks to have more to offer so big shout in his hat-trick bid. Won both chases since fitted with cheekpieces; up 8lb but he had a bit in hand last time.
3
3rd (3) (20/1 -67%) Universal Folly
20
20/1(-67%)
(3) Universal Folly 20/1, Completed a hat-trick over fences at Hexham last season for Nicky Richards. Little show in a pair of outings for this yard, though, so others are preferred. Should be well treated but best watched until showing signs of a revival.
6
4th (6) (9/4 +32%) The Gypsy Davey
2.25
9/4(+32%)
(6) The Gypsy Davey 9/4, A fair 2m winner over hurdles who is knocking on the door in this second, second of 6 in handicap chase at Market Rasen (23.9f, good to firm) 23 days ago. Can go well again. Third or second in all his five chases and didn't appear to do much wrong last time.
2
|PU| (2) (3/1 +0%) Sea Aster
3
3/1(+0%)
(2) Sea Aster 3/1, Scored at Clonmel in June and running respectably (in fourth) when fell last in handicap chase at Wexford (25.3f, good to soft) 33 days ago. One to consider. Progress stalled last time with a fall (beaten at time); doesn't look on that good a mark.
15:40 Perth Handicap Chase (Class 3) 24f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
Having proved a different proposition in first-time cheekpieces at Worcester in July, Olivers Travels supplemented that victory when following up over the same C&D in August. However, a further 8lb rise in the ratings demands another career-best performance from the six-year-old and THE GYPSY DAVEY edges the vote. Evan Williams' gelding arrives on the back of a close-up second at Market Rasen and a 1lb rise looks workable. Irish raider Sea Aster is also noted.
OLIVERS TRAVELS' form is on an upward curve so he looks the way to go in his hat-trick bid. The consistent The Gypsy Davey and Irish raider Sea Aster also firmly in the picture.
Universal Folly is opposable at the minute but the other four are in the mix. OLIVERS TRAVELS looks progressive and can win again.
(8) Shantou Lucky 11/1, Winning hurdler/chaser in Ireland for Gavin Cromwell. Some encouragement here on debut for this yard in May but it would be hard to argue that he's built on that in his 3 subsequent starts. Cheekpieces refitted (well held sole previous run in this headgear). Mark continues to fall but has yet to be closer than 10l in six runs for this yard.
6
2nd (6) (5/1 -11%) Winds Of Winter
5
5/1(-11%)
(6) Winds Of Winter 5/1, Has showed more spark switched to handicaps for Paul Flynn the last twice, latterly coming home sixth of 18 upped to 3m at Tipperary. Well worth considering back down in trip on debut for new yard. 0-6 in Ireland, beaten about 11l and 9l in her two handicaps (2m3f/3m).
2
3rd (2) (22/1 -57%) Right Now
22
22/1(-57%)
(2) Right Now 22/1, Off the mark on return from a break/debut for this yard at Market Rasen in June. Followed that with a respectable third off 4 lb higher in a Uttoxeter handicap but no so good last 2 starts and needs to get back on track. 2m winner and recent signs suggest that he may appreciate this longer distance.
7
4th (7) (9/1 -20%) Sassified
9
9/1(-20%)
(7) Sassified 9/1, Notched third success of 2023 when taking a 19f Fontwell handicap last October. Now 3 lb below that winning mark and, having stepped up on his low-key reappearance when mid-field at Newton Abbot (18.5f, good) recently, this 6-y-o is one to consider. Potentially well handicapped and the signs were more encouraging 18 days ago.
3
5th (3) (6/1 +14%) Yakaleo
6
6/1(+14%)
(3) Yakaleo 6/1, Out of a winning hurdler/chaser and offered plenty of encouragement when third at Musselburgh on debut. Failed to build on that since, though, including in 3 runs in this sphere, and he needs to raise his game now handicapping. Down the field in his three hurdles but the bumper runs were promising; h'cap debut.
10
6th (10) (4/1 +43%) League Clash
4
4/1(+43%)
(10) League Clash 4/1, Stepped up on what he achieved for previous connections when third of 13 on debut for this yard in first-time tongue strap at Newton Abbot (26.5f, good) recently. That form is nothing special but will have an each-way chance if able to build on that here with Rex Dingle taking over. Ran a positive first race for this yard with the tongue-tie added at Newton Abbot (3m2f).
1
7th (1) (16/1 -611%) Gina Moon
16
16/1(-611%)
(1) Gina Moon 16/1, Respectable efforts at Downpatrick (17.8f) and Ballinrobe (22.4f) the last twice. This may well prove to be her optimum trip and she could have more to offer for her top Irish yard now pitched into a handicap. Last two maiden efforts offered some promise with a view to handicaps.
4
8th (4) (9/1 -29%) Nakassama
9
9/1(-29%)
(4) Nakassama 9/1, Fairly useful maiden on the Flat, most recently finishing fourth of 12 in a Galway handicap. However, low-key in 3 appearances over hurdles so far and this Irish raider is another who needs to improve now switched to handicap company for the first time in this sphere. Fair run on the Flat in Ireland last time; interesting now handicapping over hurdles.
9
|F| (9) (9/2 +59%) Gavin
4.5
9/2(+59%)
(9) Gavin 9/2, A three-time winner last summer and while he hasn't come close to scaling those heights since (both in this sphere and on the Flat) since returning from a break in May, this 6-y-o is dangerous to discount having slipped to an attractive mark. Four-time 2m winner on good ground but this year hasn't been going well under either code.
5
|U| (5) (12/1 +0%) Solway Molly
12
12/1(+0%)
(5) Solway Molly 12/1, Opened hurdles account at Hexham last autumn and back on track when second in a 9-runner handicap at Cartmel (2¾m, good) on latest start in June. Nudged back up 3 lb but she pulled clear of the third that day and will surely have a part to play if in a similar mood here. Narrowly missed out at Cartmel and she's capable of following one good run with another.
11
|U| (11) (33/1 0%) Don't Look Back
33
33/1(0%)
(11) Don't Look Back 33/1, A fair performer on the Flat for Lucinda Russell last year but no better than poor form over hurdles for this yard. Likely to find one or two too good here. 15-race maiden hurdler who is 1-34 overall; well held last time at Cartmel.
16:15 Perth Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 20f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
League Clash offered something to work with on his third-placed stable debut over an extended 3m2f at Newton Abbot last month and this drop in trip brings him into calculations. The Gordon Elliott-trained Gina Moon makes her handicap bow off what looks a workable mark. Nevertheless, WINDS OF WINTER catches the eye on her opening bid for Iain Jardine. The six-year-old only weakened in the closing stages when sixth over 3m at Tipperary in July and she's taken to open her account.
A chance is taken on GAVIN, who hasn't fired so far this year but he's plummeted down the weights as a result (now 17 lb below last winning mark) and he performed well when runner-up on his sole previous visit here last June. Winds of Winter is interesting on debut for his new yard having acquitted himself well in big-field handicaps in Ireland the last twice, while Irish raider Gina Moon, Sassified and Solway Molly all need considering, too.
Southern raider SASSIFIED has brighter prospects than his form figures may imply. League Clash is second choice.
(5) Pateen 12/1, Scored at Cartmel in May but below form since and has a bit to prove now. Sprung a 16-1 surprise at Cartmel (2m6f, good) in May but this veteran has struggled since.
2
2nd (2) (9/2 -50%) Summergrounds
4.5
9/2(-50%)
(2) Summergrounds 9/2, Winner in hurdle at Market Rasen in May. Creditable third of 9 in handicap hurdle there three months ago. Freshened up and should give another good account. First and third in 2m4f handicaps at Market Rasen; looks to hold solid claims.
9
3rd (9) (13/2 +80%) Prince Nino
6.5
13/2(+80%)
(9) Prince Nino 13/2, C&D winner who arrives out of sorts and looks up against it again. Dual C&D winner last season but bitterly disappointing this term.
1
4th (1) (11/1 -83%) Carrarea
11
11/1(-83%)
(1) Carrarea 11/1, Dual bumper winner for Emmet Mullins and again over hurdles at Market Rasen (2m) for Mark Walford early last season. Sold for £2,000 and yet to make an impact for this yard, albeit his latest effort was more encouraging and his mark looks lenient. Latest run here was a step back in the right direction but now has to back that up.
6
5th (6) (9/1 +44%) Palm Beach
9
9/1(+44%)
(6) Palm Beach 9/1, It's now 16 runs since his last win in 2022 and he wasn't on his game at Cartmel last time. Ran well here on penultimate outing, though, and cheekpieces go back on, now. Finished with a rattle to snatch third over C&D but then tailed off at Cartmel.
7
6th (7) (11/2 +45%) Burgundy Man
5.5
11/2(+45%)
(7) Burgundy Man 11/2, Fair hurdler who hasn't really fired back from a long absence this season. Handicapper is increasingly giving him a chance, though. Recently returned from a mammoth absence and hasn't run badly the last twice.
8
7th (8) (28/1 -133%) I Doubt That
28
28/1(-133%)
(8) I Doubt That 28/1, Fair 2m Flat winner at best but has yet to finish better than mid-field over hurdles. Failed to beat a rival on the Flat recently and others are more persuasive. Only seventh over C&D in May and has since offered little on the Flat.
4
|PU| (4) (4/1 -113%) Grain Of Hope
4
4/1(-113%)
(4) Grain Of Hope 4/1, Lost her form both over hurdles and on the Flat for Emma Lavelle but starts out for top Irish stable now after 82 days off and market support would be most significant. Bought out of the Emma Lavelle yard for 3,800gns and won a maiden hurdle for that yard.
10
|PU| (10) (13/2 +46%) Jormungandr
6.5
13/2(+46%)
(10) Jormungandr 13/2, Showed first form making handicap debut up in trip from a lowly mark when fifth of 13 at Worcester (20f, good) on penultimate outing but didn't really back it up at Uttoxeter last time. Has had a break since. Encouraging handicap debut and perhaps found the ground too soft at Uttoxeter.
3
|PU| (3) (14/1 -115%) Twoplacesatonetime
14
14/1(-115%)
(3) Twoplacesatonetime 14/1, Maiden pointer who stepped up on previous hurrdling efforts when third in a novice at this course four months ago. Back up in trip now and may have even more to offer. Third here last time and today's longer trip heightens interest on handicap debut.
16:48 Perth Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 20f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Although Grain Of Hope has plenty to prove judged on her Flat/NH defeats this year, market support must be noted now that she is under the tutelage of Gordon Elliott. That said,, SUMMERGROUNDS looks the most solid proposition having posted a solid third at Market Rasen in June. The eight-year-old scored at that same venue off a 215-day layoff in May, so this absence is of no concern. Handicap debutant Twoplacesatonetime also warrants consideration.
GRAIN OF HOPE is well handicapped on the pick of her form for Emma Lavelle and her new stable may well have turned her round since a poor showing on the Flat, so she makes more appeal than Summergrounds, who should give his running again. Twoplacesatonetime could have more to offer, so he's also considered.
The suggestion is JORMUNGANDR who all things considered shaped well at Worcester before getting stuck in the mud at Uttoxeter.
(3) Steps Match 22/1, Won a 3m Roscommon handicap hurdle for Michael Butler last summer but has struggled to hit the same heights since. Best watched unless the market vibes are strong on this first outing for Daragh Bourke. Only eighth in final run for Michael Butler; needs yard switch to spark resurgence.
2
2nd (2) (12/1 -118%) Gino Drummer Boy
12
12/1(-118%)
(2) Gino Drummer Boy 12/1, Below form again when seventh in a 20.5f Bellewstown claimer 12 days ago. Up in trip. Not necessarily an obvious one but dangerous to discount anything his top Irish stable runs here. Arrives below par; Irish challenger still needs considering though now going into h'caps.
8
3rd (8) (13/2 +54%) Reagrove Lord
6.5
13/2(+54%)
(8) Reagrove Lord 13/2, Placed in points in Ireland. Modest maiden hurdler, finishing a creditable third of 11 over C&D when last seen in June. Each-way claims if resuming from a break in similar form. Still a maiden but solid C&D third in June; much respected after a break off.
4
4th (4) (6/1 +14%) Lady Mendoza
6
6/1(+14%)
(4) Lady Mendoza 6/1, Point winner who has placed 3 times in handicap company and finished a respectable fourth in a course novice hurdle last time. Still to score over hurdles but she arrives in decent nick; not ruled out back in h'caps.
6
5th (6) (6/1 -118%) Bullion Boss
6
6/1(-118%)
(6) Bullion Boss 6/1, On a hat-trick after wins at Market Rasen and over this C&D (held on gamely) under Conor Rabbitt in recent months. Should go well again. Thriving and on hat-trick after wins at Market Rasen/C&D; good chance for the hat-trick.
10
6th (10) (3/1 +50%) Blended Stealth
3
3/1(+50%)
(10) Blended Stealth 3/1, Long-standing maiden but arrives on the back of creditable placed efforts over C&D and at Cartmel in recent months. Considered. Is 0-28 but he comes here in good form; in the mix again.
5
7th (5) (9/2 +55%) Our Zebo
4.5
9/2(+55%)
(5) Our Zebo 9/2, No solid form over hurdles. Placed on his chase and handicap debut in June but not in the same form when fifth at Cartmel in July. Tackles his first handicap hurdle now. Maiden hurdler/chaser who came in well-held fifth in Cartmel handicap chase 51 days ago.
9
8th (9) (16/1 -14%) Castletown
16
16/1(-14%)
(9) Castletown 16/1, Unreliable individual who was in a lull over fences over the summer but dangerously well handicapped if a return to hurdles sparks a revival. Unreliable and his recent chasing form is far from encouraging; handily weighted though.
1
|PU| (1) (9/1 -200%) Iron Heart
9
9/1(-200%)
(1) Iron Heart 9/1, Successful over hurdles at Market Rasen (20.5f) in May and Worcester (23f) in July. Respectable third back on the Flat at Nottingham last month. Enters the reckoning. Won at Worcester and solid Nottingham third on the Flat last month; one for the shortlist.
7
|PU| (7) (22/1 -10%) Shantou Moon
22
22/1(-10%)
(7) Shantou Moon 22/1, Successful twice in handicaps for Tristan Davidson and runner-up twice over 3m at Hexham for new yard this summer. His last 3 runs have been disappointing, though. Form has nosedived, pulled up at Cartmel two weeks ago; others are preferred.
17:22 Perth Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 24f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Gino Drummer Boy has to be of some interest but a market watch may be the best guide to his chances as he steps up to this trip for the first time. Iron Heart also has to be considered despite top weight, but they may both struggle to get the better of the hat-trick seeking BULLION BOSS. His C&D win last month was only narrow, but connections may revert to more patient tactics on this occasion and that may suit him better.
BULLION BOSS might be able to defy the handicapper again and complete a hat-trick. Iron Heart has run well on the Flat since his Worcester win in July and is feared most ahead of Blended Stealth.
It's hard to oppose Nicky Richards' hat-trick seeking BULLION BOSS (nap) who arrives at the top of his game.
(7) Jimli's Island 5/1, Made a successful start for new trainer Susan Corbett in a 3m course handicap chase last month. Player if in similar form back hurdling. Off the mark for new yard in 3m chase here latest; must enter calculations back hurdling.
8
2nd (8) (11/2 +0%) Western Glen
5.5
11/2(+0%)
(8) Western Glen 11/2, Back to form when third of 15 over C&D (good) 23 days ago, his first outing over 3m. In the mix again with a repeat. Still to register a victory but good C&D third 23 days ago; she's one for the shortlist.
4
3rd (4) (15/2 -15%) Dalileo
7.5
15/2(-15%)
(4) Dalileo 15/2, C&D winner in June and has run with credit on his 3 visits here since, on the latest finishing 4 lengths fifth of 15 last month. Likely to be competitive again. C&D winner in June and he's continued in good form; he ought to be thereabouts.
3
4th (3) (13/2 -44%) Paddy Elvis
6.5
13/2(-44%)
(3) Paddy Elvis 13/2, Still a maiden but he's competitive off his mark, finishing a creditable third of 19 over 3m at Down Royal 10 days ago. Is 0-17 but comes here in good nick; can make his presence felt once more.
6
5th (6) (28/1 -180%) Upfordebate
28
28/1(-180%)
(6) Upfordebate 28/1, Unplaced in bumpers but has shown a bit of promise on 2 of his 3 qualifying runs over hurdles. Steps up significantly in trip for handicap debut. Interesting contender. Brought along steadily, sixth here latest; can take step forward now h'capping up in trip.
10
6th (10) (66/1 -32%) Shoughall's Boy
66
66/1(-32%)
(10) Shoughall's Boy 66/1, Pulled up 4 times from 5 starts since the turn of the year and it's easy enough to look elsewhere. Has a first-time tongue tie added to the blinkers he wore last time. Badly out of sorts, blinkered when pulled up (for third start running) over C&D in July.
2
7th (2) (12/1 +14%) Western Run
12
12/1(+14%)
(2) Western Run 12/1, It's now 28 runs since his last win in 2020 but he wasn't discredited when fourth in a course handicap in July. Only seventh of 15 over C&D last month, though. Arrives on a long losing run but not disgraced when C&D seventh 23 days ago; considered.
1
|U| (1) (100/1 -525%) Laxey
100
100/1(-525%)
(1) Laxey 100/1, Fair maiden hurdler for Henry Daly but for a whopping 56 months prior to pulling up at Cartmel last month. Tongue tied first time. Could only consider if the betting suggests a lot better is anticipated this time. Off 56 months before pulled up for new yard at Cartmel; tongue tied now with bit to prove.
9
|PU| (9) (13/8 +35%) General Hubble
1.625
13/8(+35%)
(9) General Hubble 13/8, Winner of a 23f Market Rasen handicap hurdle alst November. Lost his way badly for Kim Bailey subsequently but took a step back in the right direction for new trainer Gordon Elliott when third over fences at Killarney last month. Good shout back hurdling. Promising third for new yard in Killarney chase 18 days ago; a big player back hurdling.
5
|PU| (5) (28/1 -100%) Starlyte
28
28/1(-100%)
(5) Starlyte 28/1, On a losing run and has pulled up on her last 2 starts. Bounce back needed. It's 16 starts since her last win and pulled up over C&D 23 days ago; others preferred.
17:55 Perth Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 24f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
GENERAL HUBBLE returns to hurdles for his second start since joining Gordon Elliott and he could be hard to stop following a third over fences at Killarney last month. He may have too many guns over this trip for Jimli's Island, who won here over fences in August. Paddy Elvis was a respectable third at Down Royal last month and is another Irish raider worthy of serious consideration.
GENERAL HUBBLE scored off this mark over hurdles at Market Rasen towards the end of 2023 and is given a chance to build on a promising first run for Gordon Elliot over fences in Ireland last month. Lisa Harrison's Dalileo has been in good form here this summer and is second choice ahead of Western Glen. Upfordebate is a handicap newcomer to monitor in the betting.
This can go to GENERAL HUBBLE who shaped well on his first run for Gordon Elliott over fences at Killarney and can resume winning ways.

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.

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.
