UK Horse Racing Tips: Doncaster

TROUBADOR has improved no end since starting out in April and a repeat of his latest second in the Listed Two Year Old Trophy at Redcar will put him bang there. Nothing seems to bother Michael Dods' ultra consistent gelding and he seems sure to run another massive race. Aberama Gold arrives on the back of a Listed success, on soft ground at York, and warrants plenty of respect despite having to concede weight all round, while Flaming Princess, a filly dropping down from Group level, and impressive novice stakes winner Art Power add further spice to the contest.
Prediction : 1st Troubador 2nd Aberama Gold 3rd Flaming Princess

LOST IN TIME is fancied to give weight and a beating to these rivals. An ever-improving colt, he looks versatile in regards to track and ground conditions and having champion jockey Oisin Murphy back in the plate can only be seen as a positive. Know No Limits certainly wasn't disgraced in the Listed Two Year Old Trophy at Redcar last time and quicker conditions will help her chances, while Overwrite merits consideration following his six-length Brighton triumph.
Prediction : 1st Lost In Time 2nd Know No Limits 3rd Overwrite

Tammooz has impressively notched a Windsor/Ripon double and must enter calculations now looking to complete the hat-trick, while Future Investment is the least exposed of these and shaped as though cutting back in trip would suit when fourth in a similarly competitive handicap at York last time. However, a chance is taken on SPANISH ARCHER, who is 3lb better off for a one-and-three-quarter-length beating by Indianapolis at Leicester and now returns to the scene of his best effort, winning over 1m2f here in August. The ground won't bother him and he ought to go close at a venue he clearly likes.
Prediction : 1st Spanish Archer 2nd Tammooz 3rd Future Investment

A race that both showcases Aidan O'Brien's firepower and also the weakness of the British juvenile division. The legendary Irish handler has claimed this prize for the last two years in contests that have worked out brilliantly, with future Guineas heroes Saxon Warrior and Magna Grecia both succeeding. Another star could emerge here, with Group 2 winner MOGUL following a familiar path. The Galileo colt made it all look so easy at Leopardstown 42 days ago, and is fancied to prove too strong for his stablemates, of which Innisfree is the main threat. The only UK-based participant, Kameko, has some solid form in the book and might be able to claim third spot.
Prediction : 1st Mogul 2nd Innisfree 3rd Kameko

Paul Midgley's TARBOOSH arrives in top form having won two of his last three outings and is rated just 1lb higher than when landing this 12 months ago. Copper Knight and Dark Shot, who have both finished second to the selection of late, offer plenty of each-way value, especially the latter who ran another fine race in the Catterick Dash last weekend. Four Wheel Drive was second in that contest and has been running well in handicap company this year, while A Momentofmadness was beaten less than a length when looking for back-to-back victories in the Portland Handicap here last month. Came From The Dark, Danzeno and Fairy Stories, looking to extend a three-race winning run, are others to take seriously.
Prediction : 1st Tarboosh 2nd A Momentofmadness 3rd Four Wheel Drive

OH THIS IS US has thrived on his trips to Town Moor throughout his career so far, placing in a track-and-trip Group 2 on his most recent visit to the venue. He continues to operate well at that lofty level and could have too much class for these. Muntadab won this 12 months ago, but hasn't been at his best since, while the consistent Alemaratalyoum arrives in good form and is respected. Give It Some Teddy made it back-to-back Redcar victories earlier this month and won't mind the drop to 7f looking to land a hat-trick off a 4lb higher mark, with stablemate Flying Pursuit worthy of respect too.
Prediction : 1st Oh This Is Us 2nd Muntadab 3rd Give It Some Teddy

Keith Dalgleish won this this 12 months ago and looks to have leading claims once again with HOWZER BLACK, who is rated just 2lb higher than when second to the useful Get Knotted at Ayr last time. Irene May's latest efforts have been encouraging and the lightly-raced filly could improve for a step up to 7f, while recent Wolverhampton second Reloaded and Godolphin's course-and-distance winner Gentle Look are others to consider.
Prediction : 1st Howzer Black 2nd Irene May 3rd Reloaded
