17:20 Doncaster Handicap (Class 4) 8f Race Class Flow

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

It is difficult to predict with certainty which horse will do well based on this summary. However, based on recent form and potential, some possible contenders for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place could be 3.33/1 (4) ESCARPMENT, 5/1 (5) OVERRULE, and 12/1 (1) MANITOU.

ESCARPMENT was no match for a talented newcomer at Newbury last month but he should find this task slightly easier. Martyn Meade's charge can get off the mark at the fourth time of asking, with Kempton runner-up Maximilian Caesar and Theme Park looking best placed to chase him home. A comfortable winner at Redcar on his penultimate start, Overrule is also capable of being thereabouts.

THEME PARK may have disappointed on his first start for new connections at Redcar last month, but he was entitled to need the outing so Nigel Tinkler's charge can make a winning handicap debut. Escarpment is another venturing into handicaps for the first time so he may emerge as the main danger after an encouraging reappearance, with the consistent Maximilian Caesar rounding off the shortlist.

Escarpment and THEME PARK are handicap newcomers with untapped potential and the return to a sounder surface can suit the latter.

17:55 Doncaster Maiden (Class 5) 5f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the information provided, 2.75/1 (1) BATTAAH and 1.5/1 (2) ELITE STATUS seem to be the strongest contenders. 3/1 (5) MATLOOB and 6/1 (4) LIGHTNING POINT also have strong paper appeal. Therefore, the predicted order of finish is: 1. 2.75/1 (1) BATTAAH 2. 1.5/1 (2) ELITE STATUS 3. 3/1 (5) MATLOOB or 6/1 (4) LIGHTNING POINT

A chance is taken with MATLOOB, who is bred to be speedy being a son of Dark Angel out of Norfolk winner Shang Shang Shang. Roger Varian's record at this track is another plus and he can see off Battaah, who ran a very encouraging race on debut over C&D last month. Fellow debutants Elite Status and Lightning Point can also have a say in proceedings.

All bar one are newcomers, and the market should tell a tale, but MATLOOB cost 6 figures as a yearling and is bred to be very sharp, so he gets the nod as things stand. Elite Status has a similar profile, an even more expensive yearling and pedigree all speed. Battaah went off at pretty short odds on debut and shaped quite well, so he's much respected.

Expensive buy ELITE STATUS gets the nod for Karl Burke but there are other likely sorts among the newcomers and the betting will guide.

18:25 Doncaster Maiden (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

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

11/1 (2) CONRI, 1.63/1 (3) HIGHER LAW, and 33/1 (6) LITTLE MAN are the horses that are most likely to do well based on the summary.

This can go the way of HIGHER LAW, who could be a shrewd purchase for the Roy Bowring stable after showing promise on both starts as a two-year-old when going off short prices. A son of Fillies' Mile winner Certify, he is bred to be much better than this level and should have too much for newcomer Ice Cool Harry and Conri, who stepped forward from his debut when fifth at Southwell.

HIGHER LAW possesses much the best form on show so is taken to make a winning start for Roy Bowring at the chief expense of Clive Cox's Harry Angel newcomer Ice Cool Harry. Conri and Awtaar appeal as the pick of the remainder for place purposes.

Higher Law can go well on his stable debut but AWTAAR should find this more suitable than Newmarket last month.

18:55 Doncaster Handicap (Class 3) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the summary, the horses that are likely to finish in 1st, 2nd and 3rd are: 1. 8.5/1 (9) TREACHEROUS 2. 3/1 (8) FAST AND LOOSE 3. 4.5/1 (1) POCKET THE PROFIT However, as with all predictions, there is no guarantee and the outcome may differ.

DANZAN was not disgraced on his seasonal debut at Redcar last month and he could be hard to stop with the benefit of that outing under his belt. Fast And Loose was knocking hard on the door at the back end of last season and has to be interest on his return to action. Others who could go well are Pocket The Profit, Aberama Gold and Treacherous.

FAST AND LOOSE ended 2022 on the up and resumes on an attractive mark too so Kevin Ryan's 4-y-o is strongly fancied to make a winning return. C&D scorer Aberama Gold is also weighted to have a big say and rated second best ahead of Pocket The Profit, who wasn't seen to best effect when seventh at Wolverhampton last time.

19:25 Doncaster Handicap (Class 4) 12f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the summary provided, it is difficult to accurately predict which horse will finish first, second, and third. However, 2.25/1 (3) VALSAD and 6.5/1 (2) MATCHLESS seem to be in good form and have a chance of performing well. 14/1 (9) GIBSIDE and 3/1 (6) HAARAR also have some potential, while 16/1 (5) BILLY NO MATES and 4.5/1 (7) AQWAAM may be less likely to finish in the top three. 8/1 (1) LIZZIE JEAN has struggled on turf in the past and may not be a strong contender. Ultimately, it is important to consider additional factors and conduct further research before making any predictions or wagers.

VALSAD was third in a valuable event over 1m6f at Haydock on his final start last season and a subsequent gelding operation could help the son of Intello to score off the same mark here. Matchless had a decent spell over hurdles during the winter and he cannot be discounted, while Billy No Mates and Gibside are others who could make the frame.

VALSAD'S truncated but promising 2022 campaign ended with a good third in a Class 2 handicap off this mark over 1¾m at Haydock in July. Dropping back in trip looks a good move and he may well have more to offer as a 4-y-o. Another who is likely to appreciate going back down in trip is Haarar, who probably found 2m too much of a test at Nottingham. He is second choice ahead of Matchless and Billy No Mates.

Provided the ten-month absence is no bother, VALSAD could well prove difficult to beat. Matchless is second choice.

19:55 Doncaster Handicap (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the information provided, it is difficult to fully predict which horse will win, as each has strengths and weaknesses. However, 1.75/1 (3) CARZOLA seems to be in good form, unbeaten at 2m and coming off back-to-back wins on the Lingfield AW. She also had a career-best win in a 14-runner handicap at Lingfield just 29 days ago. Therefore, 1.75/1 (3) CARZOLA could potentially finish in the 1st or 2nd place. 3.33/1 (5) ROCK CHANT also has a good record, with 3 wins from 6 runs this year. However, he is facing a tougher field this time and will need to improve to win. 1.88/1 (1) COLTOR and 7.5/1 (4) DE VEGA'S WARRIOR have had mixed performances and are more unpredictable. Therefore, they may finish in the 2nd or 3rd place but are not as strong of contenders as 1.75/1 (3) CARZOLA and 3.33/1 (5) ROCK CHANT.

Fennor Cross caught the eye when recording a commanding success in a premier handicap at Aintree last month and he remains of interest on his return to the Flat. However, CARZOLA landed a double at Lingfield last month and shades the vote. She makes her turf debut off a 4lb higher mark in this contest but looks a big player based on the pick of her all-weather form, while Rock Chant kept on to win at Chelmsford most recently and is another of interest.

FENNOR CROSS landed a valuable handicap hurdle at the Grand National meeting and has obvious claims back on the level. Coltor and Carzola also have solid claims in a trappy contest.

20:25 Doncaster Handicap (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Prediction: Based on the summary, it seems that 4/1 (8) DEPUTY, 6/1 (5) STOCKPYLE, and 5.5/1 (9) ROCKET ROD have solid chances of finishing in the top three. 4/1 (8) DEPUTY is well handicapped and had a promising return, 6/1 (5) STOCKPYLE had two sound efforts and the return to 7f/turf should not be a problem, and 5.5/1 (9) ROCKET ROD has won three times on AW and had a solid return on his first turf run. However, there are also other horses that could potentially perform well and should not be underestimated, such as 11/1 (4) COSMOS RAJ and 4/1 (2) HOW IMPRESSIVE.

Runner-up over this trip at Newcastle on his latest start, it could be worth siding with HOW IMPRESSIVE on his turf debut. He remains unexposed and there is likely more to come from him, especially given his latest outing was after a break. Stockpyle switches back to turf following a fair fourth at Kempton last month and is feared most, while Mountbatten completes the shortlist.

A few with chances but Michael Dods has his string in good nick and his DEPUTY made a promising return under a patient ride when fifth at Redcar so gets the nod. Rocket Rod also made an encouraging reappearance when fourth at Newcastle and rates the chief threat ahead of Kempton scorer Longlai and turf debutant How Impressive.

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.
