UK Horse Racing Tips: Doncaster

NATIONAL ANTHEM backed up his Southwell success in February with another all-the-way victory at Ayr on Monday and, despite being burdened with a 5lb penalty, he might be able to complete the hat-trick. Abel Handy has been knocking on the door, both over this trip and 6f, and he is likely to be in the shake-up again, while Restless Rose also merits consideration stepping down from 0-105 company.
Prediction : 1st National Anthem 2nd Abel Handy 3rd Restless Rose

It could pay to side with SAVALAS representing the sprint king Robert Cowell and a red-hot Kevin Stott. The five-year-old gelding is used to keeping better company than this and is entitled to improve for his comeback fifth at Newmarket 19 days ago. Jawwaal also drops in class and should be competitive off this mark of 85, while Wrenthorpe and Harome are others to note in a competitive handicap.
Prediction : 1st Savalas 2nd Jawwaal 3rd Wrenthorpe

Those with experience haven't shown a great deal so it's probably best to focus on the newcomers. CALANAIS is related to a number of sprint winners and is likely to be fairly forward for her racecourse debut, so she edges the vote. Method has Ryan Moore aboard for his first competitive outing and it will be disappointing if he doesn't run well, while Bright Apparition and Fev Rover are other interesting contenders.
Prediction : 1st Calanais 2nd Method 3rd Bright Apparition

LA TRINIDAD won with a fair bit in hand at Beverley last week and Roger Fell's charge could make light work of a 6lb penalty here with the in-form rider Ben Curtis taking over in the saddle. Kentucky Hardboot made a winning debut for new handler Mohamed Moubarak at Yarmouth earlier this month, but an 8lb hike in the ratings makes life tougher. Dover Light caused a shock at 33-1 at Lingfield recently, but is much more on the radar this time, while Jaaneh and Some Picture are also interesting.
Prediction : 1st La Trinidad 2nd Kentucky Hardboot 3rd Dover Light

SERENADING showed plenty of improvement on her Yarmouth reappearance earlier this month, beaten just over a length, and she could better that useful fourth off a 1lb lower mark. Double Martini wasn't far away from back-to-back victories at Leicester last time and won't mind the drop back in trip, while Muraahin caught the eye at Lingfield recently and is interesting off the same figure. Course-and-distance winner Florenza hasn't been seen since the Autumn, but is another to note off an ever-decreasing rating.
Prediction : 1st Serenading 2nd Double Martini 3rd Muraahin

MAGICAL MORNING impressed with a four-length victory when upped to this distance for his reappearance at Yarmouth and John Gosden's Muhaarar colt appears more than capable of conceding a penalty to his rivals here. He looked a real professional during that aforementioned performance, putting the race to bed in clinical fashion at the business end, and it is of note Frankie Dettori comes here to ride. Hydros is a son of Frankel and a half-brother to Group 3-winner Sangarius and could have a say, while Winter Thorn, Vega Magic and Baarrij are likely improvers in the field.
Prediction : 1st Magical Morning 2nd Hydros 3rd Winter Thorn

LACAN has been in rude health since joining Mick Appleby and could feasibly complete a hat-trick, under a double penalty, following his five-length success at Kempton last weekend. Watheer has been running to a consistent level on the all-weather and should be thereabouts if transferring that form onto turf, while there may be better to come from Thornaby Spirit on his handicap bow.
Prediction : 1st Lacan 2nd Watheer 3rd Thornaby Spirit

AWAY HE GOES shaped like in need of the outing when sixth over 1m4f at Newbury recently and is expected to take closer order, with the benefit of that run behind him, now cutting back to 1m2f. Harrovian picked up minor money off 1lb lower over this trip at Haydock earlier in the month and is feared most, while any money for Elector, who debuts for David O'Meara, would also be notable.
Prediction : 1st Away He Goes 2nd Harrovian 3rd Elector

KINGS ROYAL HUSSAR made an encouraging return to the Flat when fourth at Wolverhampton earlier in the year and he may improve for a wind operation since that outing. Love Explodes ended her 2019 campaign with back-to-back second-placed finishes and she merits plenty of respect on her seasonal debut. Our Charlie Brown is race-fit and could have a say in the finish having performed well at Beverley earlier in the week.
Prediction : 1st Kings Royal Hussar 2nd Love Explodes 3rd Our Charlie Brown

DUBIOUS AFFAIR arrives here having won her last two starts and that includes her victory at Yarmouth earlier in the month. A 5lb rise for that victory appears to be fair and there is every chance that the daughter of Frankel will rack up the hat-trick. Zuba hit the crossbar at Lingfield recently and he could prove to be the main threat to the selection, ahead of Monjeni and Dance To Paris.
Prediction : 1st Dubious Affair 2nd Zuba 3rd Monjeni
