Graham Clark has three selections from Perth, plus a best bet at Newmarket on Thursday - with both meetings live on Racing TV.

2.14 Perth: Spectacularsunrise (Nap)
Spectacularsunrise looks exactly the type to make his mark early doors over fences off a workable mark of 125.
After being in good form during the autumn and into the December, his form tailed off slightly in the second half of the campaign, which as a result saw his mark slide with it.
However, although he has to bounce back from a lacklustre display on his final start, that can be forgiven as he could have been over the top by that point.
While he still has to prove he totally stays this far he is worth another go over at it, he is likely to be well-drilled for his chasing bow at a meeting the Twiston-Davies do well at.
2.25 Newmarket: Black Velvet Boy
Black Velvet Boy saw his hat-trick bid come unstuck on slower ground at Thirsk last time out, but he is fancied to regain the winning thread.
The switch back to a slicker surface is a major plus, given his wins at Windsor and Beverley were achieved on faster conditions.
Although he is slightly more exposed than some he still looks to have more to offer, while the booking of Oisin Murphy is an eye-catching one with the five-time British champion Flat jockey three from eight in his previous rides for John and Sean Quinn.

2.49 Perth: Expert Analysis
Expert Analysis has improved in each start since joining Jennie Candlish, but he can better those displays by opening his account for his new connections here.
After weakening on his stable debut for Candlish at Sedgefield, a run he might have needed, the switch to hold up tactics on his last start back at the same track seemed to work well.
Frustratingly he has been raised six pounds for that narrow defeat, but this four year old is lightly raced over hurdles and should have more to offer.
He looks more than capable of taking a rise in the weights in his stride, and in a weak looking affair he can finally hit the back of the net.
3.59 Perth: Marsiac
Kim Bailey and Mat Nicholls are a team that often have their horses more forward than some which makes Marsiac of interest on his return to action.
A couple of less than fluent jumps late on during his last start at Kempton Park put paid to any chances of victory, but before that he had enjoyed a solid enough campaign.
The step up to three miles means that his stamina has to be taken on trust, but if lasting out the longer distance, and brushing up on his jumping, he has the ability to make his presence felt.
