17:50 Doncaster Handicap (Class 5) 12f - 12 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	2 1st (2) (1.38/1 +21%) Divine Comedy	1.38 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. Won twice last season and her return here was a satisfactory start to the campaign..
2	4 2nd (4) (7/1 +13%) Highlighter	7 7/1(+13%)	(4) Highlighter 7/1, Unexposed sort but mid-field both starts in handicaps despite showing improved form. Eased another 3 lb at least. Showed ability in his qualifying runs but has been beaten about 5l in his two handicaps..
3	6 3rd (6) (9/1 +36%) Clay	9 9/1(+36%)	(6) Clay 9/1, Fit from jumps when close second of 4 at Lingfield on Flat return 11 days ago. Respected on that run but still a maiden. Only four ran when second at Lingfield and now 0-16; others are more convincing..
4	9 4th (9) (80/1 -142%) Raqisa	80 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. Poor over hurdles the last twice and now goes in new headgear..
5th	3 5th (3) (8.5/1 +47%) Annandale	8.5 8.5/1(+47%)	(3) Annandale 8.5/1, Lost his way towards the end of last season but starts the new campaign potentially on a good mark for his new yard so not taken lightly. Has become very well handicapped if his new yard can turn things around..
6th	12 6th (12) (9/1 -50%) Das Kapital	9 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 Another solid run here last time but does struggle to finish the job off..
7th	10 7th (10) (50/1 -52%) Great Colaci	50 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..
8th	7 8th (7) (33/1 -18%) The Dancing Poet	33 33/1(-18%)	(7) The Dancing Poet 33/1, Below par on return but needed his reappearance last season and now 3 lb below last winning mark. Not dismissed. Thoroughly exposed but not without hope if better for a break..
9th	8 9th (8) (22/1 -83%) Carlos Felix	22 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..
10th	5 10th (5) (6.5/1 +28%) Yorkindness	6.5 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. Nothing in hand of her mark but looks sure to give her running once more..
11th	1 11th (1) (9/1 -50%) Franco Grasso	9 9/1(-50%)	(1) Franco Grasso 9/1, Better than ever when narrow winner on his return to turf at Yarmouth 18 days ago. That was only his second start for this yard so may have more to offer. Didn't win by far at Yarmouth and is 4lb higher for this; perhaps vulnerable..
12th	11 12th (11) (40/1 -264%) Thunder Flash	40 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.

2	1 2nd (1) (8/1 -7%) Sankari	8 8/1(-7%)	(1) Sankari 8/1, Much improved from debut when landing 11-runner minor event at Thirsk (5f, heavy) 14 days ago by neck from Unowho, responding well. Has an experiencce edge over many but may struggle to defy a penalty. Always handy when repelling Unowho at Thirsk; the penalty spells danger..
3	11 3rd (11) (2.5/1 -11%) Anfaal	2.5 2.5/1(-11%)	(11) Anfaal 2.5/1, Dark Angel filly who improved on her debut form when neck second of 7 in minor event at Beverley (5f, good to soft) 23 days ago. Sets the standard. This flatter track could suit and she sets the standard on her Beverley second..
4	14 4th (14) (33/1 +18%) Grecian Princess	33 33/1(+18%)	(14) Grecian Princess 33/1, Achieved nothing when well held in maiden at Beverley (5f, soft, 25/1) on debut 19 days ago. Weakened back into ninth when a 25-1 chance at Beverley (soft)..

Finished a lot closer at Brighton last time but still beat only one home; opposable..
8th	13 8th (13) (12/1 +0%) Hooray For Hazel	12 12/1(+0%)	(13) Hooray For Hazel 12/1, Showed ability amid obvious inexperience when third of 7 in minor event at Beverley (5f, good to soft) on debut 23 days ago, running on. Open to improvement. Nearly 4l to find with Anfaal on their Beverley clash but this filly was making her debut..
9th	7 9th (7) (40/1 +0%) Search	40 40/1(+0%)	(7) Search 40/1, Shaped as if needing the run when well held in minor event at Goodwood (5f, good to soft) on debut 15 days ago. Beat just the one home when 40-1 at Goodwood (good to soft)..
10th	6 10th (6) (4.5/1 +10%) Rising Force	4.5 4.5/1(+10%)	(6) Rising Force 4.5/1, Mehmas colt who shaped better than the distance beaten suggests having been all the rage in the betting when fifth of 7 on her Southwell debut 12 days ago, paying price for big big mid-race move. Will be sharper for that initial experience and could improve a lot. Favourite backers soon knew their fate when he walked out of the stalls at Southwell..
11th	4 11th (4) (25/1 +24%) Eco Power Boy	25 25/1(+24%)	(4) Eco Power Boy 25/1, Foaled January 14. €22,000 foal, £16,000 yearling, £35,000 2-y-o, Zoffany colt.

Half-brother to 3 winners, including 7f-1m winner That's Just Dandy and winner up to 1¼m Maestro Mac. Yard's runners tend to come on for a run. Related to winners but stable's 2yos have drawn a blank thus far this season..

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.

18:50 Doncaster Stakes (Class 5) 6f - 11 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	3 1st (3) (3.33/1 +67%) Dark Kestrel	3.33 3.33/1(+67%)	(3) Dark Kestrel 3.33/1, Promising individual. 14/1, sixth of 14 in minor event at Yarmouth (6f, good), slowly away. Off 8 months but should have more to offer. Eyecatcher on second run; gelded since and had a wind op; could be an improver..
2	5 2nd (5) (40/1 -21%) Kaidu	40 40/1(-21%)	(5) Kaidu 40/1, 40/1, seventh of 12 in maiden at Kempton (6f) on debut. Off 94 days with a big step forward required. 40-1 when never a threat on his Kempton debut in February (6f); bred to do better..
3	7 3rd (7) (8/1 -100%) McCauley's Tavern	8 8/1(-100%)	(7) McCauley's Tavern 8/1, Fair ex-Irish gelding. Below form third of 6 in minor event at Nottingham (5f, heavy, 3/1) 38 days ago. Needs to bounce back for his current yard. Current yard resisting any temptation to enter handicaps and perhaps vulnerable again..
4	11 4th (11) (100/1 -52%) Kynsa	100 100/1(-52%)	(11) Kynsa 100/1, Twice-raced maiden. 50/1, seventh of 10 in maiden at Southwell (6.1f) 9 days ago, never nearer. More is required. Has registered modest RPRs in both her runs and looks outclassed in a race like this..
5th	8 5th (8) (7.5/1 -7%) Surrey Noir	7.5 7.5/1(-7%)	(8) Surrey Noir 7.5/1, Promising individual. 2/1, second of 10 in maiden at Chelmsford City (6f) 23 days ago, not enjoying a clear run. Should improve. Well in the mix. Threatened at Chelmsford but the chances are this is a stronger race..
6th	1 6th (1) (0.53/1 +21%) Almaty Star	0.53 0.53/1(+21%)	(1) Almaty Star 0.53/1, Got back on track after 6 months off when second of 10 in minor event at Kempton (6f, 5/2) 33 days ago, clear of rest. Obvious claims. Second to a rival with a BHA mark of 98 on his Kempton return..
7th	12 7th (12) (33/1 -175%) Lady Chapel	33 33/1(-175%)	(12) Lady Chapel 33/1, 3/1, tenth of 15 in minor event at Redcar (6f, good to soft) on debut 16 days ago. Open to progress. Poor at Redcar but was unruly beforehand and interesting that she was favourite..
8th	9 8th (9) (50/1 -52%) Whiskey Priest	50 50/1(-52%)	(9) Whiskey Priest 50/1, Fourth of 9 in maiden (14/1) at Thirsk (6f, heavy) on debut 9 days ago. Needs to build on it. Positives to take from Thirsk but that bare form gives him masses to find..
9th	4 9th (4) (150/1 -127%) De La Hoya	150 150/1(-127%)	(4) De La Hoya 150/1, 25/1, last of 7 in maiden at Southwell (6.1f) on debut 36 days ago. Lots to find. Never made any inroads from off the pace at Southwell (6f AW)..
10th	10 10th (10) (250/1 -100%) Beanie Blue	250 250/1(-100%)	(10) Beanie Blue 250/1, Last of 15 in minor event at Redcar (6f, good to soft, 80/1) on debut 16 days ago, very slowly away. Others appeal more. Started very slowly at Redcar (6f, good/soft) and remained in the rear throughout (80-1)..
11th	6 11th (6) (150/1 -200%) Lil Wade	150 150/1(-200%)	(6) Lil Wade 150/1, 8,000 gns yearling, £15,000 2-y-o, Dandy Man gelding. Brother to winner up to 6f Saielah. Dam 1m winner. Market can guide. £15,000 2yo; third foal; brother to Italian 5.5f-6f winner (inc 2yo) Saielah..

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.

19:20 Doncaster Handicap (Class 3) 12f - 5 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	5 1st (5) (0.91/1 +70%) Good Morals	0.91 0.91/1(+70%)	(5) Good Morals 0.91/1, Fairly useful form. Made all in 1½m Wolverhampton novice on reappearance in April. Unexposed now handicapping for her leading stable. Emphatic AW win last month and she's open to more progress on handicap debut; big player.
2	3 2nd (3) (4.5/1 +44%) Aiming High	4.5 4.5/1(+44%)	(3) Aiming High 4.5/1, Course winner. Improved again to score at Southwell (11f) in January and recorded 2 creditable placed efforts at Lingfield soon after. Ought to be competitive back on the grass. Course winner who has been in good form on AW this year and is respected back on turf.
3	4 3rd (4) (7/1 +13%) Lady Labelle	7 7/1(+13%)	(4) Lady Labelle 7/1, Lightly-raced winner. Off 10 months, creditable fifth of 9 in handicap at Salisbury (1½m) 16 days ago. Entitled to come on for the outing. Lightly raced 4yo but well held over 1m4f in both her handicaps and others are preferred.
4	2 4th (2) (28/1 -12%) Reel Rosie	28 28/1(-12%)	(2) Reel Rosie 28/1, Well held in handicaps over this trip at York and Newmarket on her final 2 starts last year and fared no better on her Pontefract reappearance 26 days ago. Refitted blinkers need to have a positive effect. Triple turf winner but she's lost her way and has plenty to prove at this new trip.
5th	1 5th (1) (3.33/1 -397%) Pennymoor	3.33 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.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	5 1st (5) (10/1 -11%) The Green Man	10 10/1(-11%)	(5) The Green Man 10/1, C&D winner who struck at Kempton in March. Not so good back on turf the last twice and others preferred. Today's return to better ground could trigger a revival; no surprise to see a big run.
2	3 2nd (3) (4.5/1 +25%) Live In The Moment	4.5 4.5/1(+25%)	(3) Live In The Moment 4.5/1, Not scored since 2020 and hard to catch right but may come on for his Musselburgh return for new yard and lurks on a good mark in re-fitted headgear. Well beaten on stable debut but cheekpieces return and he's dropped to a dangerous mark.
3	16 3rd (16) (9/1 +55%) As If By Chance	9 9/1(+55%)	(16) As If By Chance 9/1, Won 6f handicaps at Nottingham and Thirsk last May. Promise this year and capable of a big run. Blip at Thirsk last time but running well previously and not ruled out.
4	13 4th (13) (3.5/1 +53%) Little Muddy	3.5 3.5/1(+53%)	(13) Little Muddy 3.5/1, Plenty of good runs (including 2 victories) here and went through the race much better as he resumed winning ways in decisive fashion at Ayr (6f) 12 days ago. More needed now after 5 lb rise. Has returned in fine form this spring and has leading claims despite going up the weights.
5th	17 5th (17) (7/1 -56%) Libra Tiger	7 7/1(-56%)	(17) Libra Tiger 7/1, Perfect start for new yard at Kempton (6f) in January and best run since when second at Haydock 3 weeks ago, unable to get to grips with a rival who's in top form. Up in grade but couldn't dismiss. Back to form when second of 16 at Haydock and he's a key player if again on a going day.
6th	8 6th (8) (6.5/1 -44%) Streak Lightning	6.5 6.5/1(-44%)	(8) Streak Lightning 6.5/1, Has won twice at Newcastle for current connections and shaped well having been gambled on there (7f) a fortnight ago, caught both further back than ideal and furthest away from the pair that beat him. Dual turf winner and respected off the same mark. Best form has come over 7f plus but this big-field scenario can play to his strengths.
7th	1 7th (1) (6/1 +0%) Faro De San Juan	6 6/1(+0%)	(1) Faro De San Juan 6/1, Useful ex-French 6f winner for Francis-Henri Graffard. Changed hands for €40,000 and made a solid start for new yard when third in stronger C&D handicap last month. Poor at Newbury next time but down in class with blinkers back on now. Disappointing last time but the reapplied blinkers had a positive impact in France.
8th	15 8th (15) (25/1 -39%) Ernest Rutherford	25 25/1(-39%)	(15) Ernest Rutherford 25/1, 5f maiden winner in Ireland for Michael O'Callaghan and still retains a good portion of his ability judged on his recent Pontefract run. Becoming very well handicapped. Step back in right direction at Pontefract this month but needs to take another here.
9th	14 9th (14) (50/1 -25%) Exigency	50 50/1(-25%)	(14) Exigency 50/1, Won twice in France in 2021. Not shown much for current yard this year but her mark continues to tumble. Cheekpieces go on. Has struggled to get competitive in Britain and the cheekpieces need to make a difference.
10th	12 10th (12) (40/1 -186%) May Blossom	40 40/1(-186%)	(12) May Blossom 40/1, All his wins have come over 5f. Shaped well enough at Ripon (6f) last week but would make more appeal over the shorter trip and with headgear on. Runs off last winning mark but would be of greater interest in the visor and at 5f.
11th	7 11th (7) (20/1 +20%) True Mason	20 20/1(+20%)	(7) True Mason 20/1, Little impression first 2 starts this season but his last 2 turf wins came in C&D handicaps last summer on quickish ground. Won twice over C&D (good) last summer and not ruled out now back on better ground.
12th	6 12th (6) (22/1 -38%) Mighty Power	22 22/1(-38%)	(6) Mighty Power 22/1, Has won twice over 6f at Newcastle this year. Held the last twice though and needs to show more back on turf now. A strongly run 6f could prove ideal and he's a possible now back down in distance.
13th	4 13th (4) (16/1 +52%) Roundhay Park	16 16/1(+52%)	(4) Roundhay Park 16/1, Returned to form when winning at Pontefract in October and struck again at Catterick (6f, soft) last month. Found Chester a lot tougher last week but has struck here before. Took this in 2021 and won at Catterick two starts ago; not ruled out.
14th	10 14th (10) (40/1 -43%) Show Me Show Me	40 40/1(-43%)	(10) Show Me Show Me 40/1, Course winner who struck at Newcastle last summer. Well beaten on return at Thirsk a fortnight ago under this rider but could offer more now. Highly likely he needed his comeback run and now below last winning mark; not discounted.
15th	2 15th (2) (28/1 +0%) Pearle D'or	28 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.
16th	9 16th (9) (66/1 -100%) Obtain	66 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.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	5 1st (5) (6/1 +20%) Secret Guest	6 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..
2	6 2nd (6) (25/1 -79%) Open Market	25 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	7 3rd (7) (3.33/1 +39%) Hover On The Wind	3.33 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	4 4th (4) (7/1 +22%) King's Crown	7 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	3 5th (3) (1.75/1 +0%) Harry Magnus	1.75 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	8 6th (8) (40/1 -43%) Brother Sebastian	40 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	1 7th (1) (10/1 -233%) Sporting Hero	10 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	9 8th (9) (50/1 -52%) Higher Law	50 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	2 9th (2) (7.5/1 +25%) Captain Cuddles	7.5 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.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	4 1st (4) (6.5/1 +59%) Zafaan	6.5 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.
2	8 2nd (8) (11/1 -38%) Ticket To Alaska	11 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.
3	11 3rd (11) (8/1 +27%) My Roxanne	8 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.
4	7 4th (7) (9/1 -20%) Wilde And Dandy	9 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	3 5th (3) (12/1 -85%) Hidden Code	12 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.
6th	1 6th (1) (1.38/1 -38%) Golden Maverick	1.38 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	2 7th (2) (6.5/1 +46%) Streetstorm	6.5 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	6 8th (6) (12/1 +40%) Timedtoperfection	12 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	5 9th (5) (18/1 +28%) Limelight	18 18/1(+28%)	(5) Limelight 18/1, Modest form to date and arrives on the back of a lesser effort at Windsor, so others are more appealing. Dropping down the weights but yet to reproduce the promise of last August's debut fourth.
10th	10 10th (10) (100/1 -100%) Blondelle	100 100/1(-100%)	(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 11th (9) (200/1 -203%) Lilla Cross	200 200/1(-203%)	(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.

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.

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.
