UK Horse Racing Tips: Doncaster

HAMMER GUN has thrived here the last twice and having scored with more in hand than the result suggests over track and trip last time, he could notch up a course hat-trick off a workable 6lb higher mark. Wufud was only denied by a nose on his handicap debut at Goodwood and has to be respected trying a mile once again, while Astonished is another who could have a lot more to come in the handicap ranks.
Prediction : 1st Hammer Gun 2nd Wufud 3rd Astonished

Charlie Appleby's two-year-olds have been flying this season and his 650,000gns filly SACRED DANCE is backed to build on her useful start at Haydock. The half-sister to Listed winner Awesometan fly-jumped the start and then showed plenty of greenness on that occasion, but a more professional performance could be on the cards now, having been nursed home to finish not far away in third. Mark Johnston won this last season and that brings his debutant Golden Times into calculations, while fellow newcomer Lola Paige cost 220,000gns and the Galileo youngster is entitled to respect.
Prediction : 1st Sacred Dance 2nd Lola Paige 3rd Golden Times

William Haggas has won this twice in the last three years and his SEA OF FAITH may be the answer this time. The sister to Group 3 winner Raheen House wasn't disgraced in Listed company last time and the step up in trip could help the Sea The Stars filly build on that to open her account. Michael Dods' Bullion Boss brings plenty of experience to the table and may be best placed to follow the selection home, with Nineteenrbo'malley another who could pick up minor money.
Prediction : 1st Sea of Faith 2nd Bullion Boss 3rd Nineteenrbomalley

STORM OVER has been going close of late, thriving in the soft ground, and George Scott's five-year-old could be aided by the first-time visor as he looks to take advantage of the feasible rating he currently possesses. Camacho Chief will enjoy the conditions and is just 1lb higher than when third in a hot handicap at Haydock last weekend, while the popular veteran Duke Of Firenze has been rolling back the years so far this summer and ran much better than the bare result suggests when looking to land a hat-trick in the 'Dash' at Epsom last time.
Prediction : 1st Storm Over 2nd Camacho Chief 3rd Duke Of Firenze

CELTIC MANOR showed up well on the all-weather as a juvenile and struck on his reappearance and turf debut at Windsor last month. Though he did make hard work of that success, a mark of 76 looks feasible for William Haggas' charge. Moveonup was only headed late on despite racing keenly at Chepstow and is interesting off a 3lb higher mark, while Havana Ooh Na Na ran well over a furlong further last time and is likely to feature prominently from the off as well.
Prediction : 1st Celtic Manor 2nd Havana Ooh Na Na 3rd Moveonup

Lightning Attack looks likely to break his duck soon after a couple of placed efforts recently, while Storting has been edging closer to victory in maidens and novice events of late and may be feasibly treated on his handicap bow. Silkstone ran well at Leicester last time and has claims, but BARASTI DANCER gets the vote. Karl Burke's grey was squeezed for room at a crucial moment at Carlisle last time so the fact he kept on well for fourth augurs well for this.
Prediction : 1st Barasti Dancer 2nd Lightning Attack 3rd Storting

Shine Baby Shine went down fighting at Ayr last time and a 1lb rise for that effort looks fair, while Say Nothing stayed on for second over shorter at Haydock and is interesting now upped in trip. Fantastic Ms Fox got off the mark when stepped up to this trip at Redcar last time, but they may all find MAID IN MANHATTAN too hot to handle. Rebecca Menzies' mare positively bolted up at Nottingham on Thursday and a 5lb penalty is unlikely to be enough to stop her following up that nine-length success.
Prediction : 1st Maid In Manhattan 2nd Say Nothing 3rd Shine Baby Shine
