1.38/1(+21%)
(2) Divine Comedy 1.38/1, Low-mileage mare who made it 2 wins from 4 starts last term when scoring at Redcar (14f) in October, going on around 2f out and asserting last ½f. Decent third on return/yard debut over C&D 3 weeks ago despite not given a hard time. Remains of strong interest.

Raqisa

80/1(-142%)
(9) Raqisa 80/1, Winner at Thirsk for Jedd O'Keeffe last summer. No impact over hurdles for this yard earlier in the year but may fare better back on the Flat. Blinkers on 1st time.

Annandale

8.5/1(+47%)

Das Kapital

9/1(-50%)
(12) Das Kapital 9/1, Went close both starts here this season, good second of 14 in handicap over C&D (soft, 12/1) 21 days ago. Can give another good account

7th (10) Great Colaci (50/1 -52%)
Great Colaci

50/1(-52%)
(10) Great Colaci 50/1, Veteran who was a narrow winner at Haydock in September 2021. Sixth of 9 in handicap at Musselburgh (12.5f, good to soft, 33/1) on first run since 15 days ago, not knocked about. Entitled to come on for that.
Wasn't given a hard time of it after 20 months off the track when sixth of nine..

Carlos Felix

22/1(-83%)
(8) Carlos Felix 22/1, Well prepared back from a break when landing a gamble at Southwell in March. Went close to following up at Wolverhampton but disappointed back on turf at Musselburgh 2 weeks ago.
Only 2-31 but he was in good nick on the AW before an excusable defeat at Musselburgh..

Yorkindness

6.5/1(+28%)
(5) Yorkindness 6.5/1, Good efforts in defeat this season, including when second of 8 in handicap at Ripon (16f, heavy) 8 days ago, clear of rest. Back down in trip. Enters calculations.

12th
12th (11) Thunder Flash (40/1 -264%)
Thunder Flash

40/1(-264%)
(11) Thunder Flash 40/1, Failed to make an impact over hurdles but was in good form on the Flat prior to that so better expected back in this sphere.
All four Flat wins have come in Class 6 races (1m2f to 1m4f) off lower handicap marks..
LTO Selection:

17:50 Doncaster Handicap (Class 5) 12f Race Class Flow

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

Four-year-olds have dominated this race in recent years taking the last three renewals, and if YORKINDNESS can adapt to the shorter trip after her second at Ripon, she may continue that run. Divine Comedy ran on well when third on her return over C&D last month and any improvement would make her a player, while Great Colaci intrigues. A winner off 2lb higher in September 2021, he is entitled to improve for his only start since when sixth at Musselburgh.

DIVINE COMEDY did well for Chris Wall last season and showed enough on her comeback run over C&D 3 weeks ago to suggest she can defy her current mark for her new yard. Franco Grasso looked better than ever on his second start for this stable when making a winning return to turf at Yarmouth and rates the main threat ahead of Yorkindness, who pulled clear of the rest when runner-up at Ripon last week.

It was a pleasing reappearance from DIVINE COMEDY here three weeks ago and, if building on that, she looks sure to be involved.

LTO Selection:

18:20 Doncaster Stakes (Class 4) 5f Race Class Flow

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

Sankari is the only previous winner in this field after he scored by a neck at Thirsk, but he has to give 7lb or more to all of his rivals, including runner-up Unowho, who is weighted to gain his revenge. Both could get involved in the finish, but if HOORAY FOR HAZEL steps up on her debut third, she might have the edge. Slowly away and showing signs of inexperience at Beverley before running on, she could be a different proposition now.

RISING FORCE paid the price for a big mid-race move to get into contention after missing the break on his debut at Southwell but was spared a hard race once his chance had gone and strikes as the sort who could improve a lot for that initial experience. Therefore, he gets the nod, with Anfaal and Unowho considered the main threats.

It wouldn't be a surprise to see expensive Southwell failure RISING FORCE show a lot more this time.

LTO Selection:

18:50 Doncaster Stakes (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

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

MCCAULEY'S TAVERN is becoming frustrating after five places from his 10 starts, but if jockey Joe Fanning can keep him on or near the early pace from a decent high draw, then this may be his best chance yet to get off the mark. Almaty Star is the obvious danger after running on to be beaten a neck by the odds-on favourite at Kempton, but he needs to repeat that back on the grass, with Surrey Noir and Dark Kestrel others to note.

ALMATY STAR holds the clear edge on form so is fancied to open his account at the chief expense of Chelmsford City second Surrey Noir, who also looks to have better days ahead of him. Dark Kestrel can take a sizeable step forward on his debut Yarmouth sixth and appeals as the pick of the rest for place purposes.

Dark Kestrel is interesting but ALMATY STAR has the benefit of a run and it was a good one at Kempton.

5th
5th (1) Pennymoor (3.33/1 -397%)
Pennymoor

3.33/1(-397%)
(1) Pennymoor 3.33/1, Ended 2022 with a 13f listed win on AW at Lingfield. Her best efforts to date have come on artificial surfaces but the handicapper may have taken a bit of a chance splitting her turf and AW marks (rated 6 lb lower on turf).
Best form is on AW, including a Listed win, but she's respected back on turf on her return.
LTO Selection:

19:20 Doncaster Handicap (Class 3) 12f Race Class Flow

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

Pennymoor won a Listed race on the all-weather on her most recent start and has to be respected, but her previous form on turf is not very strong and that is a worry. With that in mind, preference is for GOOD MORALS, who got off the mark at Wolverhampton last month and she remains open to improvement on her handicap bow. Aiming High is another with strong form claims on her return to turf.

PENNYMOOR is given one more chance on turf as a mark of 90 is lenient judged on her AW exploits. Low-mileage 3-y-o Good Morals could have more to come in handicaps and gets the nod for the forecast spot ahead of Aiming High.

The vote goes to GOOD MORALS, who was an emphatic winner on AW last month and is open to more progress on her handicap debut.

Highly likely he needed his comeback run and now below last winning mark; not discounted.

Pearle D'or

28/1(+0%)
(2) Pearle D'or 28/1, Debut winner at Naas (6f) in October 2021. Little impact in 3 runs last year and probably still high enough in the weights starting out for David O'Meara.
Lightly raced 4yo whose new trainer does well with recruits from other yards; check market.

Obtain

66/1(-100%)
(9) Obtain 66/1, Won twice at Wolverhampton last season for Alice Haynes. Well held on first start for new yard at Kempton in January and needs more back on turf after a wind op.
Returns from a break having had wind op but wasn't at her best on her last two starts.
LTO Selection:

19:50 Doncaster Handicap (Class 4) 6f Race Class Flow

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

LITTLE MUDDY has won two of her three starts so far this season and a 5lb rise for the most recent of those victories may not be enough to stop her here. Libra Tiger hit the crossbar off a 1lb lower mark at Haydock last time and could be in the mix once again, while Streak Lightning and Live In The Moment are others to consider.

STREAK LIGHTNING shaped well at Newcastle a fortnight ago and could be worth chancing off the same mark down in trip back on turf. Live In The Moment and As If By Chance are a couple of others to consider in a big-field competitive handicap.

The mare LITTLE MUDDY (nap) has been in fine form this spring and is taken to win again. Faro De San Juan is second choice.

1st (5) Secret Guest (6/1 +20%)
Secret Guest

6/1(+20%)
(5) Secret Guest 6/1, Confirmed debut promise when winning maiden at Beverley last July. 22¾ lengths last of 8 to Legend of Xanadu in listed race at Doncaster 4 months later and seemed rusty in a handicap at Thirsk on return. Still relatively unexposed.
A suspicion that he might be well handicapped and returning to faster ground is a plus..

2nd (6) Open Market (25/1 -79%)
Open Market

25/1(-79%)
(6) Open Market 25/1, Successful debut in Ireland last year and solid start to handicaps when second at Nottingham and Yarmouth. Doesn't seem straightforward, though, and ran poorly at former course last time.
Headstrong filly and this drier ground may enable her to see this race out better..
3
3rd (7) Hover On The Wind (3.33/1 +39%)
Hover On The Wind

3.33/1(+39%)
(7) Hover On The Wind 3.33/1, From a good family and promise in 3 runs for Chris Dwyer last season. Has joined a shrewd yard in the 9 months he's been off an looks open to improvement.
Some concerns dropped to 6f but highly likely that he has more to offer..
4
4th (4) King's Crown (7/1 +22%)
King's Crown

7/1(+22%)
(4) King's Crown 7/1, Won Thirsk maiden last May. Hasn't troubled the judge since but creditable efforts both outings this term and should give his running once more.
Dropped 1lb for his 4l defeat in a Newmarket handicap and others might be better in..
5th

Harry Magnus

1.75/1(+0%)
(3) Harry Magnus 1.75/1, Didn't need to be at best when landing the odds in minor event at Kempton (7f) in January and followed up in comfortable fashion in a first-time tongue strap after 3 months off at Newmarket (7f, good to soft) 16 days ago. Sure to make a bold bid for the hat-trick.
Nicely on top in a deep Newmarket handicap last time and a 4lb rise may be lenient..
6th
6th (8) Brother Sebastian (40/1 -43%)
Brother Sebastian

40/1(-43%)
(8) Brother Sebastian 40/1, Signs of ability last year, fifth in a maiden at Southwell when last seen 9 months ago. Type to do better in handicaps but opening mark doesn't appear to be all that lenient.
This mark looks no gift but open to improvement as a now-gelded 3yo..
7th
7th (1) Sporting Hero (10/1 -233%)
Sporting Hero

10/1(-233%)
(1) Sporting Hero 10/1, Won 8-runner AW novice at Lingfield (5f) in August before overcoming an unfavourable position to defy a penalty in a similar race at Newcastle (5f, 10/11) next time. Possibly unsuited by conditions at Thirsk on return and remains of interest.
Soft ground perhaps didn't play to his strengths when sent handicapping at Thirsk..
8th
8th (9) Higher Law (50/1 -52%)
Higher Law

50/1(-52%)
(9) Higher Law 50/1, Showed ability for Charlie Appleby and probably needed his first outing for current yard in C&D maiden. Might improve for a switch to handicaps.
His turn will probably come at some stage; bit to prove right now, however..
9th
9th (2) Captain Cuddles (7.5/1 +25%)
Captain Cuddles

7.5/1(+25%)
(2) Captain Cuddles 7.5/1, Speedily-bred sort got off the mark at third time of asking in 7-runner minor event at Salisbury (6f, good to firm) last summer. Below form on return at Newbury 2 weeks ago, albeit racing in unfavoured group, and others make more appeal on balance.
Made all in 6f novice contest on fast ground at Salisbury last July; kept to 7f otherwise..
LTO Selection:

20:20 Doncaster Handicap (Class 4) 6f Race Class Flow

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

The step up to 7f appears to have done the trick with HARRY MAGNUS, who has now won his last two starts with a comfortable success at Newmarket last month being the most recent. The son of Harry Angel has been raised 4lb for that effort but there could be plenty more to come and he's pacey enough to cope with the drop to 6f. Open Market has gone close a few times already since moving to Karl Burke last year and is noted, while Hover On The Wind showed ability on all three starts last season and any market support for him would be noteworthy ahead of his handicap debut.

HARRY MAGNUS arrrives on a hat-trick and there could be more to come from this likeable type, so he takes preference over Sporting Hero, who remains with potential despite a poor run on testing ground at Thirsk last time. Hover On The Wind is also of interest on debut for a shrewd yard.

A few of these are open to further progress and SECRET GUEST can prove himself well handicapped on this return to good ground.

Zafaan

6.5/1(+59%)
(4) Zafaan 6.5/1, Lightly-raced gelding who failed to feature at Kempton last time. Still relatively unexposed and in good hands, so not completely dismissed on turf debut.
Still early days but soundly beaten at 28-1 on handicap debut; improvement needed.

Ticket To Alaska

11/1(-38%)
(8) Ticket To Alaska 11/1, 7/1, good third of 10 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f) 12 days ago. Should give his running again but he's vulnerable to less-exposed sorts.
0-8 but placed on both runs this year (7f, AW) and every chance 1m will be within range.

My Roxanne

8/1(+27%)
(11) My Roxanne 8/1, Very fortunate to open her account when winning 5-runner handicap at Chelmsford City in April but backed it up with a respectable display at Newcastle and can't be completely dismissed.
Has run pretty well over 1m on AW the last twice and might not be far away.

Wilde And Dandy

9/1(-20%)
(7) Wilde And Dandy 9/1, Yet to make a serious impact but was a bit better than the result when fifth in a nursery at Kempton 8 months ago. Could do better as a 3yo.
Signs of promise last year; 1st-time visor and step up to 1m could be positives on return.
5th
5th (3) Hidden Code (12/1 -85%)
Hidden Code

12/1(-85%)
(3) Hidden Code 12/1, Has improved since switched to handicaps and, while he didn't look entirely straightforward under pressure when second at Newcastle last time, he still merits respect.
Step forward when upped to 1m and runner-up last time; could be thereabouts.

Golden Maverick

1.38/1(-38%)
(1) Golden Maverick 1.38/1, Followed up a successful handicap debut with another comfortable success at Southwell recently. This track should suit his style and he boasts excellent claims of completing the hat-trick.
Has won his last two and this progressive sort has strong claims in his hat-trick bid.
7th
7th (2) Streetstorm (6.5/1 +46%)
Streetstorm

6.5/1(+46%)
(2) Streetstorm 6.5/1, Encouragement on each of her three starts as a juvenile. Has had breathing operation since last seen 7 months ago and appeals as the type to do better now handicapping.
Has had wind surgery and is open to improvement now up in trip on handicap debut.
8th
8th (6) Timedtoperfection (12/1 +40%)
Timedtoperfection

12/1(+40%)
(6) Timedtoperfection 12/1, Some encouragement on first three runs and was better than the result on handicap debut at Wolverhampton last time. Now switched to turf and could make an impact if she breaks on terms.
No impact on handicap debut but this step up in trip looks to be the right move.
9th
9th (5) Limelight (18/1 +28%)
Limelight

18/1(+28%)

Dropping down the weights but yet to reproduce the promise of last August's debut fourth.

Blondelle

(10) Blondelle 100/1, Shaped with some encouragement amidst greenness when fourth at Lingfield on debut but left Ralph Beckett subsequently and is yet to back it up.
Makes handicap debut off lowly mark but improvement is needed if she's to come out on top.

11th (9) Lilla Cross (200/1 -203%)
Lilla Cross

(9) Lilla Cross 200/1, Went backwards from debut for Kevin Ryan and has shown nothing so far for current stable. Others make more appeal.
Promise on debut last December but well beaten on her 3 runs since (last 2 for this yard).
LTO Selection:

20:50 Doncaster Handicap (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

The hat-trick seeking GOLDEN MAVERICK seems the obvious place to start having relished the step to a mile last month when scoring at Wetherby, before another win more recently at Southwell. There doesn't appear to be any negatives about him with ground and trip to suit, and he may still be ahead of his current mark. My Roxanne was the horse who took advantage of Pat Cosgrave's poorly-judged ride aboard Concorde at Chelmsford two runs ago, and she isn't one to dismiss lightly. Ticket To Alaska is stepping up in trip and looks to have solid place claims.

GOLDEN MAVERICK is progressing nicely and once again had something to spare when scoring at Southwell recently, so he's worth supporting in the hat-trick bid. Hidden Code looks a danger and Timedtoperfection remains open to improvement.

The progressive topweight GOLDEN MAVERICK has won his last two and can land the hat-trick. Streetstorm may be the chief danger.

About U.K Horse Racing

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. It is a jump racing event that is known for its challenging course and has become a national institution in the UK. 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.
