UK Horse Racing Tips: Doncaster

POGUE boasts sound claims in the opener, as he wasn't beaten far on his chase debut at Catterick last month and is only 1lb higher for that second-placed effort. Over a similar trip in this handicap, Donald McCain's charge can get off the mark at the main expense of Massini Man, who finished runner-up at Southwell and has been given time to get over those exertions. Destined To Shine completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Pogue 2nd Massini Man 3rd Destined To Shine

PAPA TANGO CHARLY's second behind The Big Breakaway at Newbury rates as strong novice hurdle form and his effort behind Igor at Ascot is just as good. Jonjo O'Neill's inmate looks up to winning a maiden of this nature and gets a confident vote ahead of Ashtown Lad, a point-to-point winner having his first start for Dan Skelton, and Glynn, who boasts a similar profile to Ashtown Lad and represents Nicky Henderson.
Prediction : 1st Papa Tango Charly 2nd Ashtown Lad 3rd Glynn

HAWK HIGH has been banging hard on the door in starts at Wetherby this season and, a dual winner over fences as a novice last term, he makes plenty of appeal off just 1lb higher than when a solid runner-up behind Katpoli a fortnight ago. Wishfull Dreaming is a course winner lurking towards the bottom of the weights on the back of some decent efforts in defeat, so he's noted along with Hatcher.
Prediction : 1st Hawk High 2nd Wishfull Dreaming 3rd Hatcher

MIDNIGHTS' GIFT arguably produced her best effort over hurdles in defeat when second behind a useful mare of Nicky Henderson's at Taunton and she is capable of defying a penalty back against her own age group. Galice Macalo was giving the selection a race when taking a heavy fall in this grade at Aintree and is likely to be competitive if her confidence hasn't been knocked. Others to note include Guardia Top, who boasts plenty of experience in handicaps, and C&D winner Fantastic Ms Fox.
Prediction : 1st Midnights Gift 2nd Galice Macalo 3rd Guardia Top

FRANCE DE REVE took a step in the right direction when runner-up at Taunton on her second outing over timber and the prospect of a sounder surface could see Nicky Henderson's mare go one better in a contest that looks winnable on paper. Yabass was a useful stayer on the Flat for Archie Watson and and warrants plenty of respect as he switches codes, while One Fine Man is likely to build on a solid hurdling debut fourth at Ludlow last month.
Prediction : 1st France De Reve 2nd Yabass 3rd One Fine Man

BARNAY ran a much better race when second on stable debut for Jennie Candlish at Uttoxeter last month and is fully expected to build on that. The five-year-old handles varying ground conditions and remains unexposed over this shorter trip. Swilly Sunset finished third when last witnessed in this sphere but has since performed poorly on the Flat, while the unexposed Wakool may well prove best of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Barnay 2nd Swilly Sunset 3rd Wakool

SUPREME ESCAPE only finished a couple of lengths behind eventual Welsh National hero Potters Corner over hurdles when last seen and his connections might be keen to strike off an unchanged handicap mark of 106. The six-year-old is unexposed over staying distances and could build on his career-best performance 48 days ago. Who's In The Box stayed on stoutly to finish third at Catterick on his latest start and should enjoy this attempt at 3m, while Kiwayu needs monitoring back from a long absence.
Prediction : 1st Supreme Escape 2nd Whos In The Box 3rd Kiwayu
