UK Horse Racing Tips: Doncaster

MINELLA EXAMINER banished an unfortunate Wetherby spill to the memory when winning with something up his sleeve over C&D. He has been hit with a 9lb rise but looks a chaser on the up. On the same day as that victory, Midnight Moss was an encouraging second on his fencing debut at Huntingdon, and he is a danger. However, perhaps a bigger threat comes in the shape of From The Heart, who has taken really well to this discipline. Flying Verse must enter the reckoning as well.
Prediction : 1st Minella Examiner 2nd From The Heart 3rd Midnight Moss

If it wasn't for his narrow defeat at Wetherby over Christmas, GOOBINATOR would be three out of three over hurdles. Donald McCain's smart prospect takes on his elders here but if he can stamp his authority, he could take up his Festival engagement in the juvenile handicap. Let The Heirs Walk made his first start for Tim Vaughan a winning one at Sedgefield and is officially rated 1lb higher than the selection. Exelerator Express should better his jumping debut effort now he has had wind surgery, while Bushypark struck between the flags last month and money for him would be interesting.
Prediction : 1st Goobinator 2nd Let The Heirs Walk 3rd Exelerator Express

Imada and Grand Turina have both been off a while but market support for either would be significant. Relatively recent match practice sways the vote in favour of PICHELOT, though, with Donald McCain's French import now having the benefit of a couple of timber spins and a wind operation under his belt. Native Robin hasn't been too far away this campaign and has slipped to a handy mark, so he is worth a second glance.
Prediction : 1st Pichelot 2nd Imada 3rd Grand Turina

Wind surgery has been the making of MISS HERITAGE and she backed up a Fakenham success with a fair third back there before strolling to a facile victory at Huntingdon last week. The handicapper had taken revenge by way of a 14lb rise so connections are wise to get her out again under a penalty before it comes into effect. Miah Grace made a solid enough start to her handicap career with a third at Leicester but the most interesting opponent to the selection is Gelboe De Chanay, who was a Listed winner in France and could be well treated. Simply Loveleh, Stainsby Girl, Amberose and Sorbet aren't out of a really competitive heat either.
Prediction : 1st Miss Heritage 2nd Gelboe De Chanay 3rd Miah Grace

Mollys Ollys Wishes is progressing nicely and broke through when upped to 2m5f at Warwick. Dropping to this trip shouldn't find her out, but trying to concede 7lb to IT'S PROBABLY ME might. Henry Daly's mare was a five-length second in that Warwick contest but was travelling strongly until her stamina gave way, and the weight difference can help her turn the form around. Leeswood Lily has put in a couple of fair Sedgefield efforts and Singapore Saga could make her presence felt too.
Prediction : 1st Its Probably Me 2nd Molly Ollys Wishes 3rd Leeswood Lily

FIRST FLOW spent plenty of time on the sidelines but has put his problems behind him, judging by how well he has taken to fences. Kim Bailey's charge produced a couple of commendable efforts in defeat before landing the odds at Leicester, which has seen him rise to a lofty figure of 148. The 12lb Theatre Legend receives evens things out a bit, but he will need to step forward considerably from his first chasing display at Sedgefield. Etamine Du Cochet is a useful mare at the right level, but this isn't it.
Prediction : 1st First Flow 2nd Theatre Legend 3rd Etamine Du Cochet

ROYAL CROWN chased home a 130-rated rival at Taunton so could be on a fair mark for his handicap debut. Admittedly, the Colin Tizzard-trained five-year-old was beaten quite some distance, but he was a long way ahead of the third and much better is expected now he steps out of novice company. Wheesht is also out to capitalise on a lowly initial figure, and does so on the back of an encouraging Fontwell second. Rose Of Aghaboe is another expected to improve for the switch to handicaps, as Clondaw Pretender did when filling the runner-up berth at Sedgefield.
Prediction : 1st Royal Crown 2nd Wheesht 3rd Rose Of Aghaboe
