14:02 Perth Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

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

This looks between Irish raiders PINYON JAY and I Love My Baie, both of whom made winning hurdling debuts with ease in 2m4f maidens last time out. The latter's came at this venue in July and, as a brother to French Champion Hurdle winner Hermes Baie, he's bred to be useful in this sphere. However, he looked better the further he went that day, so the drop in trip is a concern and slight preference is for Gordon Elliott's gelding in receipt of 2lb. Despite plenty going wrong at Down Royal 27 days ago, the selection still ran out a facile winner and there should be a lot more to come, given how green he was that day. Lucinda Russell won this race last year and her point-to-point winner Whistle Stop Tour would be dangerous to dismiss.

I LOVE MY BAIE looks a useful hurdler in the making and can make it 2-2 in this sphere 12 weeks on from his impressive victory over further at this venue. Down Royal-winner Pinyon Jay is the obvious danger, although Whistle Stop Tour makes some appeal on his first go hurdling having won a point in Ireland when last seen.

This will probably be fought out by the two last-time-out hurdle winners. PINYON JAY is narrowly preferred to I Love My Baie.

14:37 Perth Handicap Chase (Class 3) 20f Race Class Flow

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

Third in the Grade 1 Challow Hurdle at Newbury on New Year's Eve, Idalko Bihoue is very interesting on his chasing debut today and could be tough to beat if at his best. However, he was a well-beaten last of five at Ayr when on his latest outing in April and has a few questions to answer, so the vote goes to SNAKE ROLL. A decent novice over timber himself, he was third in a Grade 2 at Kelso in March and looks the type to be suited by larger obstacles for local handler Lucinda Russell. Pats Choice has chase experience on his side and Gordon Elliott's six-year-old is very much respected on his easy handicap success over fences at Wexford in June.

SNAKE ROLL had an encouraging first season over hurdles, shaping well amidst inexperience when edged out on the line in a handicap at this course in April, and he looks a useful prospect to go chasing (made the frame all 3 starts in Irish points). He is taken to get the better of fellow chase debutant Idalko Bihoue, who remains with potential.

The two chasing debutants have considerable potential. SNAKE ROLL has less to prove than Idalko Bihoue and is given the vote.

15:12 Perth Handicap Chase (Class 4) 20f Race Class Flow

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

Three-time chase winner Arctic Ambition could improve for a return to fences and the Irish raider is respected, along with course scorer Uptown Harry, who returns off a 3lb higher mark than when successful at Carlisle over a similar trip in March. A step up in distance is a possible source of improvement for Lucinda Russell's Netywell, but stablemate READYSTEADYBEAU is of more interest today. He's only 4lb higher than when scoring over an extended 2m5f at Ayr in February and his performance when winning unchallenged over 3m here in April suggests he is still improving.

There's something to like about each of the sextet in this tricky handicap, but ARCTIC AMBITION has remained in form since landing a brace of handicap hurdles in May and Gordon Elliott's gelding is fancied to make the quick switch back to fences a successful one. Readysteadybeau's jumping still leaves some cause for concern but he's run out an impressive winner on both of his last 2 completed outings, whilst Petrastar has also made a bright start to his chase career and merits consideration

Gordon Elliott's versatile and consistent 8yo ARCTIC AMBITION (nap) is probably still on a workable mark and may well be the answer.

15:47 Perth Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 24f Race Class Flow

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

Pammi struck by a short head in a three-way duel to the line over C&D last time and she has only been raised 3lb for that display, which should keep her in contention. However, the vote goes to THE LONGEST DAY, who had the former well-held over C&D last month when accounting for his rivals by a length and a half. The son of Milan could prove very hard to beat off 5lb higher. Return Fire completes the shortlist on his return to this sphere.

RETURN FIRE proved a consistent sort over fences last term and has run well off a break too so is worth siding with to capitalise on a lenient-looking mark back over hurdles. Pammi has a superb record round here and rates a big threat, while in-form maiden Tango Theatre ought to be in the shake-up too in an open handicap.

Preference is for TANGO THEATRE, who has posted some very creditable performances in defeat this year and certainly deserves a win.

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

BURBANK sprung a surprise at huge odds over an extended 3m2f around here on his latest outing in April, but that success hardly looked like a fluke, considering his superiority over the opposition on the day. The veteran ought to hold every chance of recording a double off a 4lb higher rating. The main danger is Stuzzikini on his handicap bow for the Gordon Elliott stable after his third at Killarney, while Monochromix completes the shortlist following some promising efforts over timber last season.

A chance is taken on the unexposed Lucinda Russell handicap newcomer MONOCHROMIX, with confidence in his chance increased should the betting vibes be strong back from his break. Fellow handicap debutant Stuzzikini is feared most for the Gordon Elliott team.

Less exposed and upped to a trip he's probably been waiting for, MONOCHROMIX is taken over fellow handicap debutant Stuzzikini.

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

Al Kalila shaped well on his debut under Rules over C&D to finish third and may find normal progression to get involved. However, the one to side with is TOMMYS LAW, who was a 75,000 pounds purchase after his two runner-up efforts in point-to-points and he could be ready to strike at the first time of asking. Any market support for the son of Shirocco, Bogleyburn, should be respected.

TOMMYS LAW was picked up for £75,000 after finishing runner-up on both point starts and he's worth a chance to make a successful debut under Rules. His stablemate Backdoorflush makes plenty of appeal on pedigree and Al Kalila is an obvious player having finished third over C&D on debut a couple of months ago.

C&D third AL KALILA probably sets a fair standard of rules form and is taken to enhance Stuart Crawford's very good bumper record.

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.
