13:15 Doncaster Maiden (Class 2) 7f - 11 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (3/1 -9%) Circe	3 3/1(-9%)	(1) Circe 3/1, Kodiac filly who cost 65,000 gns as a foal. Dam unraced half-sister to high-class 9f-1½m winner Prince Bishop, won Dubai World Cup. 11/1, easily the most clued up of the 3 newcomers and showed plenty when third of 9 in maiden at Sandown (7f, good to soft) 13 days ago. Sets a decent standard. Promising third on recent debut at Sandown and that's the best form in this field.
2	4 2nd (4) (16/1 -33%) Looking For Queen	16 16/1(-33%)	(4) Looking For Queen 16/1, Churchill filly. Half-sister to 6f winner Hello Queen. Dam, winner up to 5.5f (including at 2 yrs), half-sister to useful 5f-6f winner Red Pike. Eighth of 16 in maiden at Newbury (6f, good to firm, 15/2) 17 days ago. Has a useful pedigree and has shown ability on both starts, but needs something extra.
3	3 3rd (3) (5.5/1 +15%) Lasting Love	5.5 5.5/1(+15%)	(3) Lasting Love 5.5/1, Foaled April 7. 300,000 gns yearling, Lope De Vega filly. Sister to winner up to 11f Tenerife Sunshine. Dam, 1½m winner, half-sister to winner up to 1½m Golan and 1¼m/10.4f winner Tartan Bearer (both high-class). Of obvious interest on debut. Plenty to like on paper and she's in good hands; could be a player on debut.
4	10 4th (10) (7/1 -17%) Stifling	7 7/1(-17%)	(10) Stifling 7/1, Foaled February 23. Ulysses filly. Sister to useful 2-y-o 7f winner Holloway Boy. Dam unraced. Likely types. Sister to 7f 2yo Listed winner Holloway Boy and could play a leading role on debut.

Dam, maiden, sister to winner up to 13f Banksters Bonus and winner up to 11f Backbench Blues (both smart). Second of 7 in maiden (7/2) at Leicester (6f, soft) 44 days ago. Will improve. Kept on for second on last month's debut over 6f and firmly in calculations now at 7f.
6th	9 6th (9) (6/1 +14%) Shakeela	6 6/1(+14%)	(9) Shakeela 6/1, Foaled March 11. Night of Thunder filly. Dam useful Australian 6f-7f (dual Group 2) winner. Newcomers from yard often fancied. First foal; dam Australian 6f and 7f (Group 2) winner; one to be interested in on debut.
7th	2 7th (2) (100/1 -100%) Flavor	100 100/1(-100%)	(2) Flavor 100/1, 23,000 gns yearling, Zoffany filly. Sister to 1½m winner Miss Tiki and half-sister to 3 winners, including 1½m winner Travel On and 6f winner Secret Hint, both useful. Dam 1½m winner. 28/1, seventh of 11 in maiden at Kempton (7f) on debut 32 days ago. Has a useful pedigree but she was soundly beaten at 28-1 on last month's debut at Kempton.
8th	7 8th (7) (33/1 -50%) Mutabahia	33 33/1(-50%)	(7) Mutabahia 33/1, Foaled February 19. 80,000 gns yearling, Iffraaj filly.

9th	8 9th (8) (12/1 +33%) Pasha	12 12/1(+33%)	(8) Pasha 12/1, Foaled January 26. €100,000 yearling, Advertise filly. Half-sister to 3 winners, including winners abroad by Kingman and Invincible Spirit. Dam, French 1½m winner, half-sister to useful 1½m winner Sanaija. 100,000euros yearling; market check advised; will need to be useful to make winning debut.

LTO Selection:

13:15 Doncaster Maiden (Class 2) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Circe shaped with promise to finish third on her racecourse bow at Sandown at the beginning of the month and is expected to have benefited from that experience. That said, she faces a whole host of interesting newcomers, with the vote going to STIFLING. A full-sister to Holloway Boy, who landed the Chesham on his first start, she makes plenty of appeal for top connections. Similar comments apply to Morning Light, Shakeela and Lasting Love in a contest that is likely to throw up plenty of winners in the future.

CIRCE showed plenty when third at Sandown on debut and can put that experience to good use up against mostly newcomers. Stifling and Morning Light represent top stables so make the most appeal of the debutantes before market clues.

Circe (second choice) sets a good form standard but preference is for the Ralph Beckett-trained newcomer MORNING LIGHT.

13:50 Doncaster Listed (Class 1) 7f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	2 1st (2) (5/1 +17%) Dancing Gemini	5 5/1(+17%)	(2) Dancing Gemini 5/1, Offered plenty to work on when second of 9 in maiden at Salisbury (7f, good to firm, 7/2) on debut. Not disgraced in listed race at Ascot since and big improvement back down in class when winning Newbury maiden. That form is working out well and needs considering. Won Newbury maiden on third start; back up in grade here but is not ruled out.
2	10 2nd (10) (11/1 +8%) Gushing Gold	11 11/1(+8%)	(10) Gushing Gold 11/1, Blue Point filly. Improved to make a winning nursery bow in a big field at York (7f, good to firm) 22 days ago. That form looks rock solid so makes the shortlist. Won big-field nursery at York and that form is working out very well; respected.
3	9 3rd (9) (2/1 +20%) War Rooms	2 2/1(+20%)	(9) War Rooms 2/1, 200,000 gns yearling, Churchill colt. Closely related to useful winner up to 1¼m Herring Island and half-brother to French 1¼m winner Aduna. Looked potentially smart in making a winning start in C&D novice (soft), powering away from a pair with experience. Big shout. Powered clear over C&D on debut in July and he's high on the shortlist this afternoon.
4	1 4th (1) (8.5/1 -21%) Battle Cry	8.5 8.5/1(-21%)	(1) Battle Cry 8.5/1, Left his debut behind when second of 7 over 7f at Down Royal and improved another chunk when going one better in valuable maiden at York. Needs to progress again but that is entirely possible given who trains him. Won the Convivial Maiden at York and can continue to progress for top Irish trainer.
5th	4 5th (4) (9/1 -13%) Kingdom Of Riches	9 9/1(-13%)	(4) Kingdom Of Riches 9/1, Confirmed debut promise when landing odds in decent time at Leicester. Further improvement on the cards and could be useful. Readily made all at Leicester and could play a major role now upped in grade.
6th	8 6th (8) (5.5/1 +15%) Warm Spell	5.5 5.5/1(+15%)	(8) Warm Spell 5.5/1, €170,000 foal, 260,000 gns yearling, Mehmas colt. Dam unraced half-sister to smart winner up to 6f Riflescope. Produced a promising first effort behind a useful and experienced rival at Goodwood (6f) before landing the odds in a good time at Newbury (7f, good) 56 days ago. Merits consideration. Won at Newbury on second start; further improvement needed but he's in top hands.
7th	3 7th (3) (22/1 +0%) Ice Max	22 22/1(+0%)	(3) Ice Max 22/1, Dark Angel colt who confirmed debut promise when landing the odds in a Catterick maiden (7f, good) 38 days ago but has plenty to find on bare form here. Won Catterick maiden on second start; takes steep rise in grade but is worth a second look.
8th	7 8th (7) (16/1 -14%) Royal Zabeel	16 16/1(-14%)	(7) Royal Zabeel 16/1, Mastercraftsman colt. Dam, French 6.5f winner, half-sister to US Grade 2 9f winner Last Samurai out of useful 8.5f minor US stakes winner Lady Samuri. Left debut well behind winning Pontefract maiden by a wide margin. That was a weak event, however, so needs to improve again. It was a weak race he won at Pontefract but he was impressive.
9th	5 9th (5) (9/1 -29%) Local Hero	9 9/1(-29%)	(5) Local Hero 9/1, 37,000 gns yearling, Phoenix of Spain colt. Half-brother to 5f winner Sparkalex and 2-y-o 5f winner Greenroad. Dam 2-y-o 5f winner. Looked an exciting prospect when easy winner of 9-runner novice at Kempton (8f) 16 days ago. so warrants plenty of respect. Cruised to victory on recent debut at Kempton and remains to be seen where limitations lie.

LTO Selection:

13:50 Doncaster Listed (Class 1) 7f Race Class Flow

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

WAR ROOMS made a bright start to his career in a C&D novice in July on soft ground and, with conditions likely to be similar on this occasion, Owen Burrows' colt gets the vote to handle a step up in class. Local Hero caught the eye with a taking display at Kempton on debut and would be an obvious threat if able to cope with the ground. If that isn't the case, perhaps the main danger could be Dancing Gemini, who got off the mark at Newbury and appeals as the type to improve with racing.

A decent renewal with all bar one a last-time-out winner. WAR ROOMS produced a highly promising effort when making a winning debut under similar conditions over C&D in July so shades the vote over Local Hero, who also made a taking debut at Kempton. Dancing Gemini and Gushing Gold are just a couple of other potential dangers.

The Owen Burrows-trained WAR ROOMS powered clear to win on soft ground over C&D on his debut in July and he's taken to make it 2-2.

14:25 Doncaster Group 2 (Class 1) 5f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (2.25/1 +44%) Big Evs	2.25 2.25/1(+44%)	(1) Big Evs 2.25/1, Commanding winner of listed Windsor Castle at Royal Ascot before improving again to take Molecomb Stakes at Goodwood (5f, heavy). Easy to forgive no show in the Nunthorpe at York and expected to bounce back. Down the field in the Nunthorpe but leading claims judged on earlier Group 3/Listed wins.
2	11 2nd (11) (5/1 +23%) Flora Of Bermuda	5 5/1(+23%)	(11) Flora Of Bermuda 5/1, First home on the far side when sixth of 26 in the Queen Mary and much improved faced with softer ground when off the mark in impressive fashion in 5f Goodwood event. Faded in the Lowther since but trip/ground more suitable here. Disappointing in Lowther at York but claims could be boosted if she's back on slow ground.
3	7 3rd (7) (33/1 +0%) Rosario	33 33/1(+0%)	(7) Rosario 33/1, Has quite a speedy pedigree and knew his job well enough to make a successful start at Ffos Las 82 days ago. However, bare form is ordinary and easy to look elsewhere. Won at Ffos Las in June on his sole start but others have achieved considerably more.
4	6 4th (6) (8.5/1 +39%) Malc	8.5 8.5/1(+39%)	(6) Malc 8.5/1, Off the mark first time up at Carlisle in May and improved significantly on that form when second to Valiant Force in Norfolk Stakes at Royal Ascot (5f, good to firm). However, disappointed when favourite for the July Stakes at Newmarket since. Below par at Newmarket last time but this Royal Ascot runner-up isn't written off.
5th	5 5th (5) (2.5/1 +50%) Kylian	2.5 2.5/1(+50%)	(5) Kylian 2.5/1, Opened account in good style switched to AW at Newcastle in June and showed much-improved form when following up in a listed race at Sandown (5f). Did best work late on when third Molecomb Stakes at Goodwood (heavy) before excuses in Gimcrack at York. Not taken lightly. 5f Listed winner who failed to stay 6f in the Gimcrack at York; might not be far away.
6th	12 6th (12) (12/1 +25%) Graceful Thunder	12 12/1(+25%)	(12) Graceful Thunder 12/1, Well placed to win 3 of her 6 starts, including listed event at Deauville (5f, soft) last month. Close third in Group 3 at Lonchamp since and not taken lightly. Close third in Group 3 at Longchamp a fortnight ago and she's not ruled out.
7th	2 7th (2) (28/1 -12%) Fool's Gold	28 28/1(-12%)	(2) Fool's Gold 28/1, Confirmed debut promise when winning Windsor maiden (6f, good to firm) 11 days ago but plenty more needed again to get involved in this company. Won at Windsor on second run; further improvement possible but needs sizeable step forward.
8th	3 8th (3) (7/1 +22%) Francis Meynell	7 7/1(+22%)	(3) Francis Meynell 7/1, 70,000gns foal, 125,000gns 2-y-o. Half-brother to several winners, including smart 6f/7f winner Donnerschlag. Knew what was required and made a winning start in the manner of a useful prospect at Navan (5f, good to soft) 2 weeks ago. This is a big jump up but still warrants respect. Cosy win on recent debut at Navan and this Irish raider is an interesting contender.

LTO Selection:

14:25 Doncaster Group 2 (Class 1) 5f Race Class Flow

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

BIG EVS found life much tougher against older rivals in the Nunthorpe at York last month, but Mick Appleby's colt, who had shown a hugely likeable attitude when winning at both Royal Ascot and Glorious Goodwood, is taken to bounce back on this occasion. The drop back to 5f is likely to benefit Kylian, who had finished third to the selection in the Molecomb prior to not appearing to get home in the Gimcrack. Inquisitively and Flora Of Bermuda complete the shortlist.

BIG EVS's no show in the Nunthorpe at York can be easily forgiven and he's taken to add another big prize back against his own age group having already won the Windsor Castle at Royal Ascot and the Molecomb at Glorious Goodwood. Inquisitively was behind the selection at Ascot but he looked a smart prosect when scoring at York subsequently and rates a big threat if handing the ground, with Flora of Bermuda and Kylian others to consider.

There was a lot to like about the performance of FRANCIS MEYNELL when he was a cosy winner on his recent debut at Navan.

15:00 Doncaster Group 2 (Class 1) 18f - 5 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	5 1st (5) (3.33/1 -4%) Trueshan	3.33 3.33/1(-4%)	(5) Trueshan 3.33/1, One of the leading stayers of recent years. Edged out by Coltrane in this last year but gained revenge on that rival when landing a third consecutive Long Distance Cup at Ascot in October. Below best in 2 runs this spring but major player if a subsequent wind operation has had a reviving effect. Best form of these when at his peak but he's now had wind surgery to try to stop the slide.
2	3 2nd (3) (3/1 +0%) Sweet William	3 3/1(+0%)	(3) Sweet William 3/1, Most progressive since equipped with blinkers, winning very competitive handicaps at Newbury (2m) in July and Goodwood in August. Excellent second of 22 in the Ebor at York latest and looks capable of making his mark outside of handicaps. Unraced over this far; four rivals have better 2023 form but he's highly progressive.
3	2 3rd (2) (6/1 +33%) Broome	6 6/1(+33%)	(2) Broome 6/1, Won the Dubai Gold Cup at Meydan in March. Creditable third in the Yorkshire Cup on his return to Europe but well that level in his 3 outings since, on the latest beaten 8¼ lengths into fifth behind Coltrane in the Lonsdale Cup at York. Bounce back needed. Won 2m Dubai Gold Cup in March and close 3rd in the Yorkshire Cup in May; well held since.
4	4 4th (4) (66/1 -32%) The Grand Visir	66 66/1(-32%)	(4) The Grand Visir 66/1, Confirmed all his powers are intact when second in the Queen Alexandra Stakes at Royal Ascot (21.5f) in June but not quite at the same level in handicaps since. Third in this in 2020 but last of 6 in 2021. Another headgear swap; needs to get back to summer 2021 form to hold any serious chance.
5th	1 5th (1) (1.25/1 +9%) Coltrane	1.25 1.25/1(+9%)	(1) Coltrane 1.25/1, Beat Trueshan by a neck in this 12 months ago and added another Group 2 to his CV when seeing off Gold Cup winner Courage Mon Ami in the Lonsdale Cup at York (2m, good to firm) 3 weeks ago. A 3 lb penalty for that is unlikely to prevent him making a bold bid to defend his crown. Won this last year; in career-best form on three of four starts this term; set to go well.

LTO Selection:

15:00 Doncaster Group 2 (Class 1) 18f Race Class Flow

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

COLTRANE regained the winning thread in the Lonsdale Cup at York in August and the six-year-old is fancied to defy a 3lb penalty and complete a double here. The two-time Group 1 winner Trueshan hasn't looked at his best in two appearances this season, but a subsequent wind procedure may bring about an improved bid from the popular gelding. The progressive Sweet William was narrowly denied in the Ebor last time and should have more to come.

COLTRANE has been most consistent in top staying events in the last 18 months or so and is taken to land a second successive win in this, although, in receipt of weight, Trueshan (who has had wind surgery) and Broome have the potential to make life very difficult for him if bouncing back to anything like their best form.

Last year's winner COLTRANE looks a more solid candidate than his old rival Trueshan. Sweet William is feared most.

15:35 Doncaster Handicap (Class 2) 14f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	7 1st (7) (12/1 +0%) Legendary Day	12 12/1(+0%)	(7) Legendary Day 12/1, Revived by new connections to win 4 times between November and April, including over hurdles. Never a factor at Kempton in July but got straight back on track when third in 14-runner handicap at York (11.8f, good to firm) 3 weeks ago. Back up in trip. Competitive lately at 1m4f-2m; third at the York Ebor meeting just behind Bague D'Or.
2	5 2nd (5) (33/1 -32%) Oneforthegutter	33 33/1(-32%)	(5) Oneforthegutter 33/1, Caused a surprise when landing an Ascot handicap in July, helped by being able to race off the inside. However, has run poorly both starts in cheekpieces since. Ended a two-year losing run three starts back; cheekpieces for two lesser runs since.
3	1 3rd (1) (3.6/1 -20%) Real Dream	3.6 3.6/1(-20%)	(1) Real Dream 3.6/1, Lightly raced 4-y-o who was third in a big field over 1½m at the Dante meeting here in May and impressed stepping up to 1¾m for the first time at Ascot last month, winning by 4¼ lengths. Seemed unsuited by a change of tactics in the Ebor since and remains with potential. Perhaps racing so prominently was against him when well beaten in the Ebor (good to firm).
4	3 4th (3) (4/1 +11%) Bague D'Or	4 4/1(+11%)	(3) Bague D'Or 4/1, Hasn't stood much racing but career has been broadly progressive, and he proved he retains all his ability on first outing since leaving Chris Wall after 13 months off when runner-up at York (11.8f) 3 weeks ago. Step back in trip won't inconvenience and he's a big player. Did well at 1m6f last summer and absent 391 days before 2nd last month over 1m4f at York.
5th	4 5th (4) (11/1 +8%) Rhythmic Intent	11 11/1(+8%)	(4) Rhythmic Intent 11/1, Won this corresponding event in 2021 and, although he doesn't quite look the force of old, his mark reflects that and he'll be suited by a return to this trip having appeared not to get home on his first try at 2m at Goodwood recently. Career peak to win this race in 2021 and he has a 6lb lower mark today; each-way player.
6th	6 6th (6) (5.5/1 +15%) Quantum Leap	5.5 5.5/1(+15%)	(6) Quantum Leap 5.5/1, Showed his opening mark to a be a lenient one by overcoming a notably slow start at Haydock in July. Ran at least as well in defeat upped further in trip at Nottingham since and ought to remain competitive. Just four races; back to 1m6f with more to give but his slow starts are a worry.
7th	8 7th (8) (1.62/1 +28%) The Goat	1.62 1.62/1(+28%)	(8) The Goat 1.62/1, Cracksman colt who registered a wide-margin success tackling heavy ground for the first time at Goodwood (12f) in August. Couldn't replicate that back on much faster ground in the Melrose at York but conditions a bit more suitable here. 12l win on soft at Glorious Goodwood, whereas his other turf runs were on good to firm.

LTO Selection:

15:35 Doncaster Handicap (Class 2) 14f Race Class Flow

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

BAGUE D'OR lost little in defeat when a fine second on his stable debut in a competitive handicap at York last month and James Ferguson's charge may have enough improvement in him to defy a 3lb rise in the ratings. The Goat receives a handy 10lb weight-for-age allowance as the only three-year-old in this contest, which makes the son of Cracksman dangerous. He could emerge as the chief threat to the selection, ahead of Real Dream, who was too bad to be true in the Ebor last time out.

BAGUE D'OR is a lightly-raced 5-y-o who proved he retains all his ability on first outing for James Ferguson after 13 months off when runner-up at York recently and, with the step back up in trip sure to suit (unexposed at 1¾m), he gets the nod to come out on top. The Goat should find these conditions a bit more suitable than at York and is also of strong interest being the only 3-y-o in the field, while Real Dream remains with potential having been unsuited by a change of tactics in the Ebor.

Bague D'Or is second on the list to THE GOAT, who very much catches the eye if it's soft, given the manner of his win at Goodwood.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	5 1st (5) (3.5/1 +42%) Mistressofillusion	3.5 3.5/1(+42%)	(5) Mistressofillusion 3.5/1, Proved well suited by the step up to 1½m when getting off the mark in novice company at Kempton last month. Unable to improve further/justify favouritism on handicap debut at Newmarket (14f, good) 10 days later but fancied to continue her progress back at 1½m with cheekpieces applied. 1m4f AW novice winner before finishing third over 1m6f on turf; unexposed on soft ground.
2	4 2nd (4) (4.5/1 +0%) Queen Emma	4.5 4.5/1(+0%)	(4) Queen Emma 4.5/1, Improving Saxon Warrior filly who got off the mark at Lingfield (12f, AW) in July and followed up in a thin race on her handicap debut at Goodwood (12f, good) 3 weeks ago. Is in top hands and surely has plenty more to offer. Beat a solid yardstick at Goodwood and a 6lb rise seems very fair.
3	6 3rd (6) (10/1 -43%) Flower Of Dubai	10 10/1(-43%)	(6) Flower Of Dubai 10/1, Has improved since switched to handicaps, following narrow Wolverhampton success with creditable efforts on all 3 subsequent starts, latest when beaten by a pair of stronger stayers at Goodwood (16f, good) 3 weeks ago. Folly to discount with Buick on board for the first time. Remains of interest after only seven runs; unraced on ground softer than good.
4	2 4th (2) (8/1 -60%) There's The Door	8 8/1(-60%)	(2) There's The Door 8/1, Stepped up on her juvenile form when readily landing a course handicap (10.2f) in April and improved further when doubling her tally for the year in handicap at Goodwood (9.9f, heavy) just over 6 weeks ago. Back up in trip and has to be respected returned to this track. Good filly and never better than the last twice; 4lb higher than at Goodwood; ground fine.
5th	3 5th (3) (1.38/1 +39%) Cherry	1.38 1.38/1(+39%)	(3) Cherry 1.38/1, Was unlucky to bump into Sea Theme (a listed winner at York in Ebor week) over C&D in July and didn't need to improve to go one better at Goodwood (9.9f, soft) just under 3 weeks ago. Makes handicap debut back up in trip and fancied to kick on now up and running. Progressive and good reason to believe this mark could be on the light side; respected.
6th	1 6th (1) (9/1 -64%) Reina Del Mar	9 9/1(-64%)	(1) Reina Del Mar 9/1, Won readily at Newmarket (July course) in June and made very short work of weaker opposition back there (12f, soft) just under 6 weeks ago. Hiked up 10 lb for that emphatic success and she shouldn't be underestimated back against 3-y-os. 10lb higher than for Newmarket win but she remains unexposed with cut underfoot.

LTO Selection:

16:10 Doncaster Handicap (Class 2) 12f Race Class Flow

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

There's The Door recorded a second success of the season when digging deep to get up in the closing stages at Goodwood last month. However, David Evans' filly does have a career-high mark to overcome now that she is 4lb higher and she might be worth taking on with the unexposed CHERRY. The daughter of Dubawi recently shed her maiden tag in taking fashion at the West Sussex venue and her current mark looks workable. Fellow last-time-out winners Reina Del Mar and Queen Emma also enter the reckoning.

Another small field for this valuable contest and Ralph Beckett looks to hold a pair of aces in CHERRY and Mistressofillusion. The former didn't need to improve to get off the mark in a Goodwood maiden last month and, sure to have plenty more to offer, she gets the nod to make a winning start to life in handicaps ahead of her stablemate, who can continue her progress back at 1½m with first-time cheekpieces applied. Queen Emma gets the nod for third spot.

Preference is for CHERRY (nap), who was only 3l off the Listed Galtres winner before doing it very comfortably at Goodwood.

16:45 Doncaster Handicap (Class 2) 6f - 12 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	3 1st (3) (3.33/1 -48%) Baradar	3.33 3.33/1(-48%)	(3) Baradar 3.33/1, Course winner who built on earlier promise in first-time cheekpieces when landing 25-runner International at Ascot (7f) 48 days ago. Goes very well on soft ground so merits serious consideration despite a 4 lb rise. Career best when beating 24 rivals at Ascot latest; track and ground fine; solid contender.
2	8 2nd (8) (25/1 +11%) Lethal Nymph	25 25/1(+11%)	(8) Lethal Nymph 25/1, Useful C&D scorer who was back to form when second at Windsor (6f) in July but not in the same form twice since. Needs to get back on track. Course winner; struggling for consistency this time around; risky despite reduced mark.
3	7 3rd (7) (20/1 -25%) Raatea	20 20/1(-25%)	(7) Raatea 20/1, Scored at Haydock in June but below form both starts since, only eleventh of 18 in handicap at Ripon (6f, good) 27 days ago. Hood back on. Not easy to make a case for. 2nd and 4th in last two runnings of this race; as good as ever this year; ground not ideal.
4	4 4th (4) (8/1 +11%) Lethal Levi	8 8/1(+11%)	(4) Lethal Levi 8/1, Yet to score this term but has posted some good efforts in defeat, cheekpieces back on when seventh of 17 in handicap at York (6f, good to firm) 20 days ago. In the mix once more. Not won this year but retains ability and on a good mark; perhaps best on quicker ground.
5th	2 5th (2) (11/1 +21%) Rhythm Master	11 11/1(+21%)	(2) Rhythm Master 11/1, Smart on his day and not disgraced when tenth of 25 to Baradar in International at Ascot (7f, good to soft) 48 days ago. No forlorn hope. Struggled in hot Ascot handicaps the last twice; 2nd on AW in March brings him into it.
6th	9 6th (9) (12/1 +0%) It Just Takes Time	12 12/1(+0%)	(9) It Just Takes Time 12/1, Gained his second success of 2023 at Ripon in June but he arrives below form, eighth of 18 in handicap there 27 days ago. Others are preferred. Beaten in Class 2 handicaps on his last four starts; others preferred for win purposes.
7th	1 7th (1) (14/1 -56%) Gweedore	14 14/1(-56%)	(1) Gweedore 14/1, Likeable type who won over 7f here before scoring at Newmarket later in the summer. Produced a rare below-par effort when last of 9 in handicap at Thirsk (7f, good to soft) 14 days ago. Sort to bounce back. Three 7f wins this year, including here on soft; below par latest; high in weights now.
8th	10 8th (10) (16/1 +0%) Zip	16 16/1(+0%)	(10) Zip 16/1, Bagged a couple of AW handicaps since the turn of the year and not disgraced when close ninth of 12 at Chepstow (7.1f, good) 36 days ago. This course winner can give another good account. Two course wins; can't have it soft enough; dangerous if it doesn't dry out too much.
9th	11 9th (11) (3.33/1 +26%) Persuasion	3.33 3.33/1(+26%)	(11) Persuasion 3.33/1, Back to winning ways at Thirsk before an unlucky second under a 5 lb penalty at Haydock (7f) 7 days ago, conceding first run and just failing. Goes in the mud and big shout nudged up 1 lb with Ryan Moore now up. Comes here in top form and Ryan Moore's booking an obvious plus; major player.
10th	6 10th (6) (14/1 -27%) Tactical	14 14/1(-27%)	(6) Tactical 14/1, Group-class in his pomp when in the care of Andrew Balding, but he has failed to make an impact on all four starts for new connections this season. Others have achieved more. Better than the result at York latest and these conditions should suit better; good mark.
11th	5 11th (5) (12/1 +0%) The Green Man	12 12/1(+0%)	(5) The Green Man 12/1, Is enjoying an excellent season and scored over C&D in May. Below form under a change of tactics when eighth of 17 in handicap at York (6f, good to firm) 20 days ago and no surprise to see him get back on track. Two big-field wins over 6f this summer; not much wiggle room off this mark now though.
12th	12 12th (12) (7.5/1 +32%) Able Kane	7.5 7.5/1(+32%)	(12) Able Kane 7.5/1, Took this contest in 2021 and arrives in good nick, seventh of 12 in handicap at Chepstow (7.1f, good) 36 days ago. Needs considering. Won this in 2021; several good runs this year and likely to give another good account.

LTO Selection:

16:45 Doncaster Handicap (Class 2) 6f Race Class Flow

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

BARADAR arrives here only 4lb higher in the ratings than when winning the International at Ascot in July and George Boughey's five-year-old is hard to oppose as a result. Lethal Levi has been running well enough in defeat of late and it would be no surprise to see him make the frame off his current mark. The Green Man is another who is likely to be in the mix, while Persuasion and Gweedore complete the shortlist.

Plenty with chances but PERSUASION is fancied to gain compensation for his unlucky recent Haydock second with the booking of Ryan Moore another plus. Baradar handles soft ground really well so is feared most on the back of his International success at Ascot. The Green Man is weighted to have a say too while Lethal Levi is another who needs shortlisting.

Tactical ran with promise at York last time and can go well but PERSUASION has run two fine races this month and gets the nod.

17:20 Doncaster Handicap (Class 4) 6f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	7 1st (7) (3/1 +50%) Red Zone Hero	3 3/1(+50%)	(7) Red Zone Hero 3/1, Six-figure breeze-up purchase who confirmed previous promise when landing a maiden at Ayr in July. Nursery debut at York is best excused, so he's not a forlorn hope. Soundly beaten in York nursery but ground may have been too lively; retains potential.
2	4 2nd (4) (4.5/1 +0%) Kingswood Flyer	4.5 4.5/1(+0%)	(4) Kingswood Flyer 4.5/1, Boasts a progressive profile and had a bit to spare when scoring in a nursery at Newbury last time. Should step up again, so makes plenty of appeal. Has improved with each run and won nursery at Newbury last time; solid contender.
3	1 3rd (1) (3.33/1 +5%) Blue Prince	3.33 3.33/1(+5%)	(1) Blue Prince 3.33/1, Looked comfortably ahead of his opening mark when forging clear to score at York in July. Poorly drawn when only sixth there last time and capable of getting back on the up. Sixth of 16 in warm nursery at York; could play a leading role now back down in grade.
4	10 4th (10) (66/1 -136%) Novello Lad	66 66/1(-136%)	(10) Novello Lad 66/1, Found only one too good starting out here in June. Not in anything like the same form since and handicapper hasn't been lenient with opening mark. Promise on debut here but well beaten the next twice; dramatic return to form is needed.
5th	5 5th (5) (16/1 -191%) Boardroom	16 16/1(-191%)	(5) Boardroom 16/1, Confirmed debut promise when winning 11-runner maiden at Thirsk in August and best excused a lesser effort in listed company at York since. Remains with potential. Well beaten in fast-ground Listed race last time but promise on soft going previously.
6th	8 6th (8) (3.5/1 -5%) Succession	3.5 3.5/1(-5%)	(8) Succession 3.5/1, Lightly-raced winner. Winner at Bath in May. Excellent second of 11 in nursery (22/1) at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 8 days ago, every chance when jumping false patch of ground close home. Strong chance of going one better off the same mark. Clear second on last week's nursery debut on AW and he runs before a 4lb rise kicks in.
7th	3 7th (3) (11/1 +21%) That's For Sure	11 11/1(+21%)	(3) That's For Sure 11/1, Confirmed debut promise when winning 10-runner novice at Carlisle in July. No impact in a couple of sales races since but this looks more realistic. Down the field in two sales races but not written off in view of Carlisle novice win.
8th	2 8th (2) (12/1 +0%) Dapperling	12 12/1(+0%)	(2) Dapperling 12/1, Off the mark in straightforward fashion at Lingfield. Excellent second of 20 in Weatherbys Super Sprint at Newbury next time but tame run in a similar event at York since. Flopped at York last time but a case can be made on form such as her Super Sprint second.
9th	6 9th (6) (22/1 +12%) Sir Bolton	22 22/1(+12%)	(6) Sir Bolton 22/1, Second past the post on his 5f Yarmouth debut in April but was carried left and correctly awarded the race. Down the field both subsequent starts and gelded prior to this nursery debut. Debut winner in April; tailed off in novice here on stable debut in July; gelded since.

LTO Selection:

17:20 Doncaster Handicap (Class 4) 6f Race Class Flow

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

DAPPERLING struggled in two valuable events last month but it would be no surprise to see the Dandy Man filly bounce back here, given that she chased home Relief Rally in the Super Sprint in July. Kingswood Flyer is an obvious threat following his success a Newbury a month ago, although a 4lb rise is a slight concern. Succession edges out Boardroom and Red Zone Hero to be best of the rest.

SUCCESSION is going the right way and would have gone very close to winning (finished clear second) had he not jumped a false patch of ground late at Wolverhampton 8 days ago, so he's worth a chance to gain compensation off the same mark. Kingswood Flyer is also going the right way and looks the main threat ahead of Blue Prince.

Preference is for SUCCESSION, who is 4lb ahead of the handicapper following his clear second at Wolverhampton last Thursday.

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.
