UK Horse Racing Tips: Doncaster

ENVISAGING was beaten by a better-handicapped rival when second at Yarmouth 38 days ago and looks ready to strike for James Fanshawe off just 1lb higher. The five-year-old doesn't find winning easy, but is 3lb below his last successful mark and will be suited by drying ground conditions. Athollblair Boy seldom runs a bad race at this level but gets little help from the handicapper as a result, while Wind In My Sails should benefit from this drop in class.
Prediction : 1st Envisaging 2nd Athollblair Boy 3rd Wind In My Sails

David O'Meara is 4-12 with his juvenile runners at this track over the last five years and newcomer DANCING FEET has an attractive profile. The daughter of Footstepsinthesand represents some powerful owners and, having cost 40,000 euros as a yearling, will be fancied to make her mark sooner rather than later. Of those with experience, It's Not My Fault is a half-sister to the smart Leodis Dream and should appreciate this extra furlong, while Blausee took a step forward from her debut when second on the all-weather three weeks ago.
Prediction : 1st Dancing Feet 2nd Its Not My Fault 3rd Blausee

Roger Varian's record at Town Moor has been well documented in the past so any market support for his already-gelded newcomer Ejtilaab would be worth taking notice of, while Debonair Don Juan outran 40-1 odds to finish fifth at Kempton earlier this month and could take a further step forward for Ed Vaughan. Diamond Shower has shown promise in two career starts, but this can go the way of CRANTOCK BAY. Ninth in a valuable sales race here in September before finishing a promising second on his reappearance at Windsor, George Scott's charge is fancied to take this before moving into handicap company.
Prediction : 1st Crantock Bay 2nd Ejtilaab 3rd Debonair Don Juan

JAMES WATT arrives here having finished second on his last couple of starts, off the same mark, and this appears to be an ideal opportunity for Michael Bell's gelding to go one better. Abate has to be respected having opened his account at Ripon 10 days ago, while Whelans Way and Show Me The Bubbly are others who can be expected to go well.
Prediction : 1st James Watt 2nd Abate 3rd Whelans Way

The consistent EQUIANO SPRINGS won a similar event over C&D last month and a 6lb rise in the ratings for that success may not be enough to stop him from taking this contest as well. Galloway Hills also won last time out and he could give the selection plenty to think about, while Captain Jameson and Normal Equilibrium complete the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Equiano Springs 2nd Galloway Hills 3rd Captain Jameson

SWEET MARMALADE ran on to finish third over 1m2f at Redcar at the end of last month and the step back up in distance on handicap debut, at a course that can play to her strengths, can see her get off the mark. Trailboss can bounce back to form against lesser opposition in first-time blinkers, having been outclassed in a novice event at Sandown last time, while Cold Harbour and Albert Boy both make some appeal due to their recent consistency.
Prediction : 1st Sweet Marmalade 2nd Trailboss 3rd Cold Harbour

KILBAHA LADY wasn't suited by the drop back in distance in a slowly-run contest at Beverley 11 days ago and Nigel Tinkler's mare makes plenty of appeal with the likelihood of a stronger gallop on this occasion. Velvet Vision is down to a fair mark based on his placed efforts over this distance earlier in the year, while a step up in trip could see Classified find some improvement.
Prediction : 1st Kilbaha Lady 2nd Velvet Vision 3rd Classified
