1	4 1st (4) (11/4 +31%) Jan Brueghel		2.75 11/4(+31%)																															(4) Jan Brueghel 11/4, Galileo colt who was a wide-margin winner of a 10-runner maiden at the Curragh on debut and overcame the rise in class/greenness to follow up in 10f Group 3 there. Toughed it out well to maintain his unbeaten record in Gordon Stakes at Goodwood and extra distance promises to suit. Big shout. 3-3; similar form to the other leading contenders, while still looking a work in progress.
2	3 2nd (3) (11/4 -22%) Illinois		2.75 11/4(-22%)																															(3) Illinois 11/4, Progressive sort who proved his stamina for this trip when winning the Queen's Vase at Royal Ascot. Good second in Grand Prix de Paris at Longchamp next time before going down only narrowly in Great Voltigeur at York. Solid claims. Won Queen's Vase; improved 2nd at 1m4f since, while looking as if return to 1m6f will suit.
3	5 3rd (5) (11/2 -10%) Sunway		5.5 11/2(-10%)																															(5) Sunway 11/2, Winner of Group 1 Criterium International at Saint-Cloud on final 2-y-o start. Yet to score this season but took form to another level when ¾-length second in Irish Derby, staying on strongly. Again shaped like a stayer when fourth in King George at Ascot so big run expected stepping up in trip. Staying-on second in Irish Derby at the Curragh (1m4f, good) is his standout performance.
5th	2 5th (2) (7/2 +30%) Grosvenor Square		3.5 7/2(+30%)																															(2) Grosvenor Square 7/2, Has clearly improved for the step up to this trip, worn down only close home in Curragh Cup before runaway winner of Irish St Leger Trial at the Curragh 4 weeks ago, Hard to know exactly what he achieved for latter success (main rivals below form) but respected all the same. Came good again with two seriously committed front-running rides over 1m6f at the Curragh.
6th	6 6th (6) (40/1 +20%) Wild Waves		40 40/1(+20%)																															(6) Wild Waves 40/1, Looked very progressive when winning first 2 handicaps, latterly over this C&D. Can have a line put through next run (slipped badly) and got back on the up when fourth of 16 in Melrose at York, coming from further back than the trio that beat him. Remains with potential but this is a big ask. While better than the Melrose Handicap result at York, he has a mountain to climb in this.
7th	7 7th (7) (13/2 -18%) You Got To Me		6.5 13/2(-18%)																															(7) You Got To Me 13/2, Won Oaks Trial at Lingfield on return before making the frame in Oaks at Epsom and Ribblesdale at Ascot. Took another step forward fitted with a tongue strap when winning the Irish Oaks at the Curragh before good second in Yorkshire Oaks. Likely to stay and receives 3 lb from the colts. Seems to be settling down a bit; galloped on to win Irish Oaks and when Yorkshire Oaks 2nd.
1	1 |DQ| (1) (28/1 -56%) Deira Mile		28 28/1(-56%)																															(1) Deira Mile 28/1, Wide-margin winner of Windsor novice on return before running a cracker in first-time cheekpieces when 7½ lengths fourth of 16 in Derby at Epsom. Only just failed back from a break in listed race at Windsor 3 weeks ago but free-going ways is a concern going up in distance. Change of headgear. Staying-on 4th in the Derby and 2nd in Windsor Listed race; swaps cheekpieces for blinkers.

15:40 Doncaster Group 1 (Class 1) 14f  Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.

Illinois landed the Queens Vase over 1m6f at Ascot in June and looks sure to launch a serious challenge having gone close in the Great Voltigeur at York last time, but stablemate JAN BRUEGHEL may prove the one to side with. The unbeaten full-brother to an Irish Derby winner is improving at a rate of knots and beat a subsequent winner when taking the Group 3 Gordon Stakes at Goodwood on only this third outing. Irish Oaks winner You Got To Me was supplemented for this and makes more appeal than Sunway and Grosvenor Square of the remainder.

Aidan O'Brien typically holds a strong hand as he bids for a seventh success in the oldest Classic, while Ralph Beckett tries to win this with a filly once again, but SUNWAY looks the value call. His close second in the Irish Derby puts him right up there in terms of form and the longer distance promises to suit. The unbeaten Jan Brueghel has the most potential in the field and rates the main threat, though stablemate Illinois is also well in the mix on his narrow Great Voltigeur second.

The oldest Classic is probably heading back to Ballydoyle, with ILLINOIS (nap) the tip from Jan Brueghel and Grosvenor Square.

1	3 1st (3) (10/3 +33%) Daysofourlives		3.333333 10/3(+33%)																															(3) Daysofourlives 10/3, Three-time winner, including over 1¼m. Better than ever in defeat this year, including first home in his group when fourth of 29 in the Hunt Cup at Royal Ascot (1m, firm) in June. Visor off, cheekpieces back on. Considered. Improving 4yo and can go well providing he's tuned up on return from a break.
2	1 2nd (1) (7/2 +30%) Liberty Lane		3.5 7/2(+30%)																															(1) Liberty Lane 7/2, Won a 1m course handicap at last year's Leger meeting. Went in again at Newmarket (9f) in May. Bit below form eleventh of 20 in John Smith's Cup at York (1¼m, good to soft) on latest start in July. On a tough mark but has some class about him and races prominently which might be an asset.
3	5 3rd (5) (25/1 -79%) Aerion Power		25 25/1(-79%)																															(5) Aerion Power 25/1, Looked as good as ever when edging out Great Blasket (won next time) at Nottingham (1m) in June but down the field at Royal Ascot and Glorious Goodwood since. Others arrive with stronger claims. Slow starter and that's been finding him out in strong handicaps; this isn't quite so deep.
4	4 4th (4) (12/1 +14%) Penzance		12 12/1(+14%)																															(4) Penzance 12/1, Progressed at a rate of knots on AW over the winter, winning 4 times over this trip and good second of 14 at Newcastle on Good Friday. Not quite so good when switched to turf in June/July and others are preferred again here. Four-time AW winner but has yet to replicate that level of form on turf.
5th	2 5th (2) (6/1 +20%) Paradias		6 6/1(+20%)																															(2) Paradias 6/1, Quickly dispelled a lesser effort in the John Smith's Cup when resuming winning ways at Glorious Goodwood (9f) at the beginning of August. Never involved in a big-field race at the York Ebor meeting but the type to bounce straight back. Capable of a big run off this mark but ideally wants a strong pace (doubtful) to target.
6th	11 6th (11) (13/2 +13%) Parlando		6.5 13/2(+13%)																															(11) Parlando 13/2, In the form of his life in the Racing League last month, winning at Windsor (good to firm) before second on AW at Newcastle (both 1¼m). No reason why he won't give another good account. Back in good form and, although edging back up the weights, shouldn't be far away.
7th	7 7th (7) (12/1 -71%) King Lear		12 12/1(-71%)																															(7) King Lear 12/1, Useful handicapper who reacted well to a first-time tongue strap (added to cheekpieces) when second of 12 in 11f Southwell Racing League handicap 16 days ago. Nudged up 3 lb for that but still respected. Recent Southwell second; could have done without the 3lb rise in this stronger company.
8th	10 8th (10) (13/2 +19%) Rathgar		6.5 13/2(+19%)																															(10) Rathgar 13/2, Well served by a positive ride back down markedly in trip when successful at Yarmouth (1¼m) in July. Just as good when runner-up at Chepstow (1¼m again) last month but only a respectable seventh of 17 at the York Ebor meeting since. Equipped with first-time cheekpieces. Has had a solid season and it was a hot handicap in which he ran okay at York last time.
9th	6 9th (6) (25/1 -56%) Lion Of War		25 25/1(-56%)																															(6) Lion Of War 25/1, Useful handicapper in Britain in the first half of last season. Down the field in a couple of starts in the US at the end of last summer and absent since. Has rejoined Charlie Johnston. The betting should help guide to expectations. Flashes of smart form and now gelded ahead of this return for Charlie Johnston.
10th	9 10th (9) (10/1 -18%) Mr King		10 10/1(-18%)																															(9) Mr King 10/1, Useful for Ger Lyons in Ireland and offered plenty to work on for his new stable when seventh of 18 in 1m York Ebor meeting handicap 23 days, nearest at the finish having been caught too far back. Spencer an unusual booking for the stable. Interesting. Useful in Ireland and his debut for this yard at York over 1m was encouraging.

16:15 Doncaster Handicap (Class 2) 10f  Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.

DAYSOFOURLIVES gave the impression a return to this longer trip would suit when finishing strongly for fourth in the Royal Hunt Cup over a mile at Royal Ascot. Marco Botti's four-year-old can resume winning ways off his current mark and edges out Paradias to be the pick. The latter was in the process of running another big race when hampered in a valuable handicap at York last time and can feature, while Penzance spoilt his chance with a tardy start at Yarmouth but caught the eye making late headway and could have a say in proceedings.

PARADIAS didn't have things go his way at York and is worth another chance to show that a 3 lb rise for his Glorious Goodwood success is lenient. Royal Hunt Cup fourth Daysofourlives is second choice ahead of Parlando, who did well in the Racing League last month, and Iain Jardine's Mr King.

A winner at this meeting 12 months ago, LIBERTY LANE might repeat the trick. He's smart on his day and this looks his sort of race.

1	11 1st (11) (33/1 -230%) Yabher		33 33/1(-230%)																															(11) Yabher 33/1, Foaled February 19. Sea The Stars colt. Half-brother to smart winner up to 1¼m Al Mubhir and 1m winner Dubawi Warrior. Dam winner up to 9f (2-y-o 7f winner). Makes plenty of appeal on paper. Sea The Stars half-brother to two winners, notably Al Mubhir (Listed; RPR 115).
2	5 2nd (5) (2/1 +56%) Ride The Thunder		2 2/1(+56%)																															(5) Ride The Thunder 2/1, 400,000 gns yearling, Night of Thunder colt who did best of the newcomers when second of 9 in novice at this course (7f, good to firm) 51 days ago, keeping on well. Step up to 1m will suit and he seems sure to progress. Second favourite when 2nd here (7f, good to firm), racing very freely but keeping on well.
3	10 3rd (10) (20/1 -186%) Valedictory		20 20/1(-186%)																															(10) Valedictory 20/1, Foaled March 29. 140,000 gns yearling, Cracksman colt. Half-brother to several winners, including useful 7f/1m winner Dolce Courage and 1m winner Red Poppy. Bred to be useful at least and well worthy of interest on debut. 140,000gns yearling; 7th foal; Cracksman half-brother to four winners, three fairly useful.
4	2 4th (2) (6/1 -71%) Masubi		6 6/1(-71%)																															(2) Masubi 6/1, Too Darn Hot colt. Closely related to useful 1½m winner Alqamar and smart winner up to 15f Moonlight Spirit. Made an encouraging start to career when third in 10-runner novice at Kempton (1m) 17 days ago, pulling clear of rest, and seem sure to improve. Second favourite when close third of ten in novice at Kempton (1m, AW), always prominent.
5th	1 5th (1) (125/1 -150%) Arbitration		125 125/1(-150%)																															(1) Arbitration 125/1, Just modest form in 2 runs so far and looks one for nurseries after this. Some improvement when fifth at Thirsk (7f, good) but much more is needed from him.
6th	8 6th (8) (12/1 -50%) New York Minute		12 12/1(-50%)																															(8) New York Minute 12/1, Foaled May 1. €400,000 yearling, Wootton Bassett colt. Half-brother to several winners, including winner up to 1½m Fancy Man and 1¼m-2m winner The Grey Wizard, both smart. Dam unraced. Expensive sort representing a top yard, so much respected on debut. 400,000euros yearling; 7th foal; Wootton Bassett half-brother to five winners, two smart.
7th	6 7th (6) (11/10 +32%) Scandinavia		1.1 11/10(+32%)																															(6) Scandinavia 11/10, Improved plenty on debut form when second of 9 in maiden (2/1) at Newmarket (8f, good) 29 days ago, despite still showing signs of greenness. Sets a good standard and is open to further improvement. Closed far too late when second at Newmarket (1m, good) but that's the best form in this.
8th	9 8th (9) (20/1 -100%) Serviceman		20 20/1(-100%)																															(9) Serviceman 20/1, Foaled March 5. €225,000 foal, 320,000 gns yearling, Wootton Bassett colt. Dam, 10.3f-1½m winner who stayed 2m, sister to very smart 2-y-o 1m winner (stayed 1¼m) Kingsbarns. Newcomer of major interest. 320,000gns yearling by Wootton Bassett; first foal; dam 10.5f/1m4f winner (RPR 101).
9th	7 9th (7) (50/1 -100%) Mister Winston		50 50/1(-100%)																															(7) Mister Winston 50/1, Foaled March 21. Churchill colt. Closely related to useful winner up to 7f Kinks. Dam, 6f winner, half-sister to useful 5.5f-7f winner Last Empire out of useful winner up to 5f (including at 2 yrs) Final Dynasty. Bred to be sharper than most of these.

Probably needs more time. 50-1 for valuable maiden at York (7f, good to firm) and totally blew the start.

16:50 Doncaster Maiden (Class 2) 8f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.

SCANDINAVIA still displayed signs of greenness when runner-up on his second outing at Newmarket and the son of Justify is expected to shed the maiden tag at the third time of asking. Ride The Thunder is likely to progress from his runner-up effort on debut here in July with the extra furlong potentially aiding his cause. Of the newcomers, the most interesting contenders appear to be New York Minute, a 400,000-euro purchase who is a half-brother to a Grade 2 winner in the US, Serviceman and Yabher.

SCANDINAVIA improved plenty on his debut form when second at Newmarket last month and, with further improvement forthcoming, he could take a bit of stopping. Ride The Thunder and Masubi both seem sure to build on promising opening efforts, with Serviceman heading up a handful of interesting newcomers before market clues.

Scandinavia was second at Newmarket but may be vulnerable to MASUBI and Ride The Thunder. The newcomers need a check too.

1	1 1st (1) (18/1 -29%) Johan		18 18/1(-29%)																															(1) Johan 18/1, Won the Lincoln here on return in 2022 and enhanced his record fresh when landing last season's Golden Mile at Glorious Goodwood. Seen only twice subsequently though, well held in first-named race on his seasonal bow back in March. Undoubtedly capable if bouncing back. Absent since running poorly here in March when bidding for a second Lincoln win.
2	7 2nd (7) (11/1 +45%) Bopedro		11 11/1(+45%)																															(7) Bopedro 11/1, Losing run is mounting up but plenty of good efforts to his name this season, good fifth in Golden Mile at Goodwood (1m) in August. Not in same form in couple of starts since but his mark has eased as a result and he's not dismissed out of hand. Visor back on. Good chance on plenty of form but has lacked consistency this year.
3	15 3rd (15) (5/1 +33%) Storm Star		5 5/1(+33%)																															(15) Storm Star 5/1, Successful on debut in a Newcastle maiden (6f) in May and has improved under positive tactics in handicaps in recent months, latterly when good third behind Tolstoy at aforementioned venue 23 days ago. Remains open to improvement. Ties in with Tolstoy on latest effort; pedigree suggests he should do better still.
4	9 4th (9) (5/2 +29%) Treasure Time		2.5 5/2(+29%)																															(9) Treasure Time 5/2, Progressive son of Time Test who wasted no time gaining compensation for his luckless Goodwood run when adding to his tally at York (7.9f) 3 weeks ago, doing well to reel in a pair who were better placed. Strong at the line then and unlikely he's reached his limit yet. Shortlisted. Got up close home in 3yo handicap at the York Ebor festival last month; progressive.
5th	12 5th (12) (17/2 +6%) Magnum Opus		8.5 17/2(+6%)																															(12) Magnum Opus 17/2, Useful effort to make second handicap start a winning one at Pontefract (1m) in July and better than bare result last 2 starts, fifth of 14 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f) 16 days ago, left poorly placed. Likely he has a bigger effort in his locker. Recorded a clearcut win at Pontefract on last completed turf start; interesting.
6th	3 6th (3) (14/1 -40%) Ouzo		14 14/1(-40%)																															(3) Ouzo 14/1, Ended 2023 with a win at Ascot (1m) and returned to land a pair of 9f Meydan handicaps in January/February. Best effort this summer when fifth of 14 in handicap at Goodwood (7f) last month and the return to 1m now will suit. Made late gains over an inadequate 7f last time; return to 1m is a plus.
7th	6 7th (6) (18/1 -29%) Rhythm Master		18 18/1(-29%)																															(6) Rhythm Master 18/1, 6-y-o who isn't long with this yard and, having fallen in the weights, he again ran creditably (in first-time cheekpieces) when fourth of 9 in handicap at Thirsk (7f) 2 weeks ago, bumped over 1f out and running on. Remains unexposed at 1m. Quickly running into form for new stable but has something to prove back at 1m.
8th	8 8th (8) (11/1 -83%) Tolstoy		11 11/1(-83%)																															(8) Tolstoy 11/1, Hasn't always been the most straightforward, but resurgent for present yard, completing a 7f York hat-trick in June/July. Very much caught the eye at Ascot next time and quickly back on the up when successful at Newcastle (1m) 23 days ago. Unexposed as a miler and respected again. Won at Newcastle last month, taking record for current yard to 4-7; not ruled out.
8th	13 8th (13) (66/1 -164%) Eldrickjones		66 66/1(-164%)																															(13) Eldrickjones 66/1, Long time since he tasted success on turf but added to his tally on all-weather at Newcastle (7f) in May. Has seemingly been going through the motions of late, keeping on again late when 5½ lengths seventh of 14 to Tolstoy in handicap at Newcastle (1m) 23 days ago. Others stronger. Not in top form and can be opposed; it's three years since his sole turf win.
10th	4 10th (4) (22/1 -38%) Raadobarg		22 22/1(-38%)																															(4) Raadobarg 22/1, Losing run stretches back to 2022 and form has largely gone the wrong way in competitive handicaps this term. Better signs reverting to front-running tactics when third of 12 in handicap at Ascot (1m) in July but he wouldn't be certain to reproduce that form this time. Finished third in this race in 2021; filled the same position at Ascot last time.
11th	10 11th (10) (7/2 +42%) Native Warrior		3.5 7/2(+42%)																															(10) Native Warrior 7/2, Justified cramped odds in maiden at Nottingham (8.3f) in May and improved further since, third in Britannia at Royal Ascot (first home stands side) prior to a solid second at Goodwood (9f) 6 weeks ago. Remains less exposed than most and respected for yard who won this 12 months ago. Has performed well at Royal Ascot and Glorious Goodwood since switched to handicaps.
12th	14 12th (14) (40/1 +39%) Bajan Bandit		40 40/1(+39%)																															(14) Bajan Bandit 40/1, Thrived for this yard last season, winning handicaps at Haydock/York before filling the frame all 3 starts thereafter. Failed to fire in trio of starts during the spring and whilst he's been given a break since, he remains 4 lb above last winning mark. Badly lost his form this spring; returns from a four-month absence.
13th	11 13th (11) (125/1 -213%) Good Heavens		125 125/1(-213%)																															(11) Good Heavens 125/1, On a good mark judged on 2022 exploits but ended time with Joseph O'Brien below his best and, easy to back, was well held last of 13 on stable debut at Chester (7.6f) 14 days ago. Can only be watched. Ex-Irish 5yo who finished last of 13 at Chester on debut for new stable.
14th	2 14th (2) (28/1 +44%) Dear My Friend		28 28/1(+44%)																															(2) Dear My Friend 28/1, Really smart on AW with a 4-5 strike-rate but 2-13 on turf and well held at York last month (albeit he raced wide). Looks too high in the weights on this surface. Completed an AW hat-trick early this year; inconsistent since, mostly on turf.

17:25 Doncaster Handicap (Class 2) 8f  Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.

TREASURE TIME hit the line strongly when producing a career-best performance to win at York last month and a 7lb rise may not be enough to stop him from taking another step forward. Native Warrior backed up his Britannia third when finishing second at Goodwood and the son of Wootton Bassett commands plenty of respect once again. Storm Star, Johan and Ouzo head the remainder.

TREASURE TIME gained deserved compensation for his luckless run at Goodwood when successful in a competitive big-field York handicap 3 weeks ago. Notably strong at the line then, he makes plenty of appeal again from his revised mark taking on his elders for the first time. Fellow 3-y-o Native Warrior is another of firm interest, with Mirsky and Tolstoy a pair of the older brigade firmly in the mix also.

The excellent record of 3yos in this race heightens interest in NATIVE WARRIOR, Storm Star, Treasure Time and Magnum Opus.

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.
