13:40 Perth Tips — Thursday 23rd April 2026

For our top tip today, we’re heading to Perth for the 13:40 where **Celtic Alliance** looks set to continue his winning ways. This Gordon Elliott-trained four-year-old absolutely bolted up on his debut, registering a '1' in the form book, and comes into this race at even money (EVS) for good reason.

His last time out victory was incredibly impressive, suggesting a serious engine. As a young 4yo, he possesses immense scope for further improvement and is clearly still learning. With only one run under his belt, he remains largely unexposed, making him a fascinating prospect on this good ground. Elliott is a master at placing his horses, and this looks a shrewd move. He's got all the credentials to follow up.

For those seeking an each-way alternative, **Dunsy Rock** could be worth a look. However, our primary focus remains firmly on Celtic Alliance to deliver the goods and provide us with a winning start to the afternoon.
